What a great day to celebrate. He was a severe diabetic since he was in 4th grade and was on 3 shots of insulin a day. In 1989 both kidneys failed and was on home dialysis for 1 year and still worked a full time job On September 18, 1990 he got a new chance in life! He got a new kidney and pancreas transplant at Indianapolis, Indiana. He is no longer a diabetic and no longer on insulin! He was one of the patients that made history for Methodist Hospital as the did the following transplants within 24 hours at the hospital and cancelled all other surgeries 1. my hubby got kidney and pancreas 2. guy got other kidney 3. guy got heart 4. lady got lung 5. another lady got lung all of these organs from the same donor (he was drinking and riding his motorcyle and was brain dead) we are so thankful that he donated his organs for others also skin, eyes, bone marrow was donated to other hospitals (when the donor, Peter got his drivers license he told his parents he wanted to be an organ donor) we are so blessed that he was as he has helped out alot of patients |
Wow, that is Wonderful, hope you enjoy many more years with him. Also to know the donor helped more people that's wonderfl.

Amazing and happy anniversary to you both. Perhaps this is a wake-up call to those of us who haven't signed a donor card to do so. What a wonderful final gift to give to so many, new life.

It's really amazing to learn what people deal with "behind the scenes". Quilting/crafting has undoubtedly helped you both get through the tough times.

WOW! God works in mysterious ways. My drivers license indicates I am an organ doner. I am a 50 year survivor of Open Heart surg. 5/1//60 - Mayo Clinic - I was 17 and a Sr. in HS. Hole between 2 lover chambers and am 68, my heart is still great. Now if I could get rid of the CIFS, I would be a happy camper.
Am so happy for you both. Blessings and hugs! |
