My Mar 18 of 1997 I was on life support and placed into a medicated coma. May 31, 1997 I recieved the gift of life. Thank you so much for my life and giving my father that second chance at the only child he has.

- hey! i'm so sorry it's taken a while to reply! my family has been REALLY busy. anyways, yes i do know my donor family! i've been meaning to call them up actually. my mom really wanted to meet the family when i got my transplant, but the letters we sent to them never reached them. but my family who lives in orange county heard a story about a boy dying around the time of my transplant and that "his heart went to a 6-year old boy". my name is commonly used for indian boys! LOL! so anyways, they put 2 and 2 together. so after a while, we got help from a reporter and met the donor family. :) i honestly don't know how you could find out about meeting your donor family. i'm sorry. :(

- i take 3.5mg of prograf twice a day. i had my transplant at the mayo clinic in jacksonville. i am feeling great, i am already back to work full time as a medical assistant! it is amazing how you dont realize how sick you are until you feel a million times better! i just had my one year check up and came back home with a good report so i am very blessed! how did you do after your transplant ? did you have any setbacks?

- I had to have another transplant because the main artery from my first donated liver was too small and i kept getting blood clots. i had a surgery and they tried to fix it but blood clots kept forming so i had to go back on the list as status one. i agree with you, i am lucky to be alive, being sewn on the inside was just an added bonus! =) i hope all is well with you! and i hope that your mothers day wasnt too bad for you. i know how they can be......ttyl

December, 25th will mark 30 years post first kidney transplant. It doesn't seem that its been that long ago,I will forever think about the families that made the faithful decision that saved my life and the lives of other complete strangers.
