'Today Show' Highlights Sarah Murnaghan

NBC's The Today Show highlight Sarah Murnaghan's story on Wednesday.

Murnaghan, Newtown Square, .

The 10 year old has been on both the adult and pediatric lung transplant list for 18 months. Because of her age and organ transplant policy, she will only receive adult donor lungs after all adult candidates, regardless of how sick they are, have the opportunity to accept them. There are far fewer pediatric lungs available.

If Sarah were 12 years old she would immediately be eligible for the next available lungs from an adult donor.

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius made a statement to a Congressional panel on Tuesday saying she would not directly intervene in the transplant decision and would leave the decision to medical experts.

An Interfaith Candlelight Prayer Vigil will be held for Sarah on Friday, June 7 at 7 p.m. at St. Davids Episcopal Church in the Wayne church's chapel.
