Thanks. . . .

I was telling my wife and daughter this evening (over dinner. . . .sushi. . .Erin's favorite place. . . . in celebration) that if something happened where all of a sudden we were not a match, I think I would have to go ahead and donate to someone else.

Being involved first hand, it has really impacted my heart that there are so many families suffering through this. Many have been on dialysis for years.

Fortunately awareness is growing and there have been many Donor chains started around the country. One person feels led to donate, then perhaps a family member or friend of the recipient donates to someone else and it goes on and on. I have read of one chain that is 10 donors long.

With the advances in donation surgery, you can be home in two days and back to work in two weeks max.

I would encourage anyone feeling the need to do this to check into it.

The gift of life. . . .pretty neat.

My Wife is the "WOMAN" though, she donated about 15 years ago when the donor surgery was really major.
Then my Daughter is the really strong one staying positive through all this. She has her ups and downs, but overall she has done great. Right now she is pumped. . . . Calling herself the California Girl. . . . .

She asked, "after I spend so much time in California, what if I want to stay?".

We should know a schedule for all of this soon. . . . .

thanks Glenn I WILL watch it. I am signed up as an organ donor on my drivers license,and I hope everyone who is not, will consider it.Once you are gone ya don't need any of it anymore. So many people can benefit.

good luck and may God watch over you and your daughter.I just have a feeling that this will be a successful surgery. Prayers for the both of you
