- I just celebrated my four year transplant anniversary two days ago which also happened to be my actual birthday too, on which I turned 29. However, I claim the age of my six organs which are only 18, and this is the age I really feel anyway. I really do not see myself as almost thirty. However, I am glad for each new year of life that God lets me have to enjoy. I feel blessed for each new moment I can breathe and say thanks. I am so glad that we all have so many reasons to celebrate and may life continue to bring us more each and every day. Many hugs to all.

- Congratulations on your sixteenth transplant anniversary! My heart is gladdened for you that you have made it so far. May the road ahead only have many, many more celebrations ahead. I am nearing my fourth year in a little less than a week, and before the transplant I would not have believed I would have still been alive if it had not been for this marvelous gift. I am happy that so many have been able to enjoy these extra years of life. May all continue to be blessed with new reasons to smile and hope each day.

This is my first posting in quite some time. The last 6 months I have been waiting for different things to happen and it has been both an exciting and frustrating time. A friend who became a client of mine at the chiropractor asked me if she could donate one of her kidneys to me; I gladly accepted. She gave 13 vile's of blood and off to the lab it went. About 5 weeks later I got a phone call telling me that my friend was a very good match and that transplant might happen as soon as early Decembe…New Here!

Liver labs not so good, yet again
I really was thinking positive and was sure numbers would be better this week, I kept telling myself that. I go today, had labs and visited with friends who were also their getting labs. Today was a great day. I come home, coordinator calls me says numbers are high again and even higher than before so I get to go back again next week for labs and MRI.
