- Tricia - We are kindred spirits- ha! Both redheads and my birthday was July 10th!- that says it all! I am presently waiting on a liver transplant - I have an 18 year old son and he graduated highschool in May and will attend college this Fall. Wondering how your daughter did with the actual surgery time and right after - I worry, they are so young to have this to deal with - hard enough for us as grown-ups. Any suggestions? I have been on the list since 1/9/09 after becoming very sick in Oct. 08 - my disease process is Polycystic Liver Disease. I have been very stable as I wait thank goodness for that. Thanks - Teresa

Karen Weddick said… - I want to wish you a happy birthday. I see birthdays as a celebration of life and living so in our case birthdays are extra special so go out there and celebrate the day you came to be. Actually we have two birthdays, our biological one and the one I like to call our “Re-birthday”. Have a wonderful day.
