Update..our oldest daughter gave my DH a kidney 10 yrs ago and it has been a wonderful fit. He is still healthy, on the lowest dosages of drugs to keep him from refusing, our daughter had a baby girl 7 years ago and is very healthy! Life is good. Thank past friends for prayers, good vibes...

Just wanted to drop a quick note. It's hard to believe, but it has been a whole year since the transplant!! Everything is going wonderfully, Tara is doing great, and Jim is back to normal; well as normal as one can be on meds for the rest of one's life! We are back to a very busy life, I am...

Peace and Prayers

Just wanted to update all of you. Tara went back to work on the 18th of March, and Jim went back to work on the 24th with his doctor's blessing. He is doing so wonderful!! I know I owe a lot to all of my family here at DC for all of your prayers, so THANK YOU!!! You couldn't begin to imagine...

Penny, I'm so sorry about your Mum. I know that you two were close, she helped you through your kidney problems when she could and she knows you were there for her. Our prayers are with you. Dawn

Thank you all, we got ahold of a vet. Did blood work, and other tests, dumb dog is okay. The neighbor will be another story though!! He has been told not to burn his kitchen trash at all, talk about DUMB!!! Thank you again. By the way, yes this is the dog that ate my shoes and marked me as...

My dog just threw up half burned garbage that was partially burned using kerosene!! He weighs 120 lbs and you can definately smell the kero on his breath. He is still drinking water. What should I do? The vets are gone for the weekend, he is not sluggish but I'm worried. When I get ahold of...

Thank you ALL, I am so blessed to have friends such as you.

I'll keep that in mind after we get back from the "windy" trip to "clinic". Winds are expected to hit 60mph!! Calmness, here I come.

All is wonderful!! First "clinic" went great, after today, Jim will be down to one a week already!! He can drive possibly after next week, and go back to work in two months; as long as he doesn't lift more than 35 pounds. He is so happy to be able to eat whatever he wants now, he is like a...

They may release Jim Saturday. Tara is still in quite a bit of pain, but tries not to take the pain meds so that she can "work through it". Jim walked down to her room yesterday and talked to her for an hour and made her see that it was in her best interest to use the meds. Her room is about...

More news from the hospital. Tara may get out Thursday!! She feels a little pain, went to see her daddy, ate and kept it down, and had her (almost) 3 year old son in with her most of the day!! Jim went for a walk, his color is wonderful, he is using very little pain meds, has read his...

Hello Everyone!! Just to let you know, the surgery was a success! Tara came through with flying colors, she is of course in some pain but all in all doing especially well. The doctors said her kidney was the “best” they had ever seen!! Once it was placed into Jim, it took over immediately...
