    Wanted to share an update, Jennifer and I recently celebrated the six year anniversary of her double lung transplant on October 19th, 2023, and the beautiful gift from Lacey which has given us so much life we didn't expect!
    Her annual checkups were excellent and she's doing well living each day!

      My brother miguel is currently hospitalized for heart failure. After beating covid he suffered immense damage to his heart. He's been hospitalized since january. The doctors have tried to convince us to let him go twice already, but miguel is a fighter and wants to keep going. He isn't even a candidate for a heart yet, he suffered a stroke while at the hospital and isn't able to move his left side of his body nor speak anymore. Which means he isn't even on the transplant list yet... I hope my brother is able to make it... I'm so sorry for your loss..

When my grandmother died when I was 15, I repeated that same statement to them. (Her death made me reflect a lot at the time.) it’s been a little over a year now and that still holds true. Watching this video reminded me of that, as well as giving me a comforting feeling that if something happens to me and I am no longer alive, then a least one other person can have a better life from my death.

You can also register through your states organ donor registry. Being an organ donor is one of the simplest and greatest ways to give back to people in need. You can help several lives by donating various organs that you no longer need after you have passed away.

      Don’t sign up as an organ donor when you get your license. Doctors get paid when their patient ( whose an organ donor ) passes away. And some doctors will use that as an advantage and ( not all doctors, but it’s happened before ) not try as hard to save you so they can get paid. If i were you, i’d sign up online. that away it doesn’t go on your license.

      Its a major operation so there are always unexpected issues, like blood clots, etc. The first year was most difficult. Its physically tough to come back from an extensive operation like that when you are 68. Took a while. But since then no major issues. Just minor adjustments in medication. Quite successful really. The success goes to the docs. I am in Houston. The transplant team at St. Lukes have been fabulous. I get tested and see them every 3 months. They tell me I am quite stable, although my kids would be the last to use that term to describe me! I go for long walks, go to the gym and row. Life is fun again.
