    Happy LIFEday.... It's rare that transplant recipients live this long because the medication destroys other organs...

    Hi,

    He is on rejection meds the rest of his life.

    He has been blessed and hasn't been sick very often

    just common colds, gallbladder surger and this year was the staph infection

    but had nothing to do with the transplants

    Does he have any restrictions because of them? Anything extra he must do to maintain them?

    Thanks Everyone

    I took him out to "Texas Roadhouse" and he got his favorite

    fried catfish, baked potato, salad and sprite

    I ate salmon, bake sweet potato, salad and coke

    We had a nice time and was fun getting out of house. Our dog was upset with us when we got home since we left him home alone!
