Getting the call!!

my wife answered the phone at 2:30 in the morning, she was walking down the hallway and I was like who is she talking to. Then she looks at me and gives me the thumbs up and we both start crying. We arrived at KU around 3:15 am but didn’t go to surgery until about 1:40 pm!! I was scared and excited and nervous. I had been on the list just over a year. It was truly an amazing day. I just want everyone to know the real hero’s in this journey are the donors and their families. Thank you for this beautiful gift of life.

    I was a lucky one! My wait for a liver was very short lived. However, I share the same feelings about who are the real heroes. I am also blessed that I have come to know my hero’s family.

    I am happy for you and wish you continued strength in your recovery.
