Sue,
I don't recall seeing anybody on the forums who has had a second transplant. Here is what I was able to find with some data behind it, but the article is 4 years old, and is probably using data that is over 10 years old on average.

Some of the primary factors for a better result are 1) lower age and 2) lower disease burden at transplant. Overall health is of course important as well, so being in the best shape possible helps.
I do hope that Amy is eligible and strong.
