how are you all doing? >> we're doing well. sarah has declined slightly in the last two days. but we're very excited with the news today. that she will have the opportunity to be equally judged and have the opportunity to receive lungs. >> so what does today actually mean for sarah? you say she has the opportunity to be equally judged. what exactly does that mean? >> so from the very beginning, and anyone who is on the lung transplant list has to have allocated to them a lung allocation score. so her score today is actually 78. so what the judge is allowing to happen today is allowing her to be on equal grounds with the other folks, the adults. so her score would actually be taken into account. so we have never, ever asked that sarah get special attention or be placed in front of anyone more severe than her. so if there is -- if there is another adult who is more severe, who has a higher lung allocation score, they will still get their lungs first.
