I was so very happy that you were able to get back something that the diabetes had taken away from you... your sight. I am praying that your transplant will be equally as successful. Also... I learned today that my cholesterol(sp) is at 125! Yippie! Thinking of both of you... Marty I remember when you got your lens implants and regained your sight.

And it has to be good enough. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers. It's interesting when I do some reading here I notice that you've been able to claim back some of the things your diabetes took from you. That is an incredible thing. The wonders of modern medicine. My husband has had two bypass surgeries, both before he was 40. I look at him now that he's 50, and think to myself--this really has been 'borrowed time'. If he had been born 20 years earlier, this could have never been. So I look at every day with him as a gift. Because it truly is.~Cao. We deal with things as best we can.

My children are ages 2-5, I have four of them. There is hardly a night that goes by, as we pray together, that the two oldest don't mention you in thier prayers. They do this without prompting. I truly enjoy your blog. Keep your hopes up. As each day is a new beginning, and another chance to live life. God bless, G. P. Clarke Jr. Nick,

I wish you only the best. I'd love to hear more of how you see your life now before the transplant. What a terrific gift you will receive when you get your transplant. What a terrific legacy to leave once one's organs are no longer needed. I'm a strong believer in and promoter of organ donation over at Legacy Matters. BTW that story Christmas with Louise was hysterical What an amazing story that I found at the Carnival of the Vanities. I wish you only the best.

I got here via Carnival of the Vanities. I understand your dilemma...waiting and wanting something that will come from the tragedy of another. Just keep in mind that the tragedy will happen regardless of what you wish or think. Life happens in all its variety. And do know that for many families, being able to donate organs is one way they are able to cope with the loss of a loved one; that some good comes from their tragedy and their loved one "lives on" helping others. One of my best friends went through a kidney transplant three years ago ... luckily his sister was able to donate for him and they celebrate his new "birthday" every year. I'll remember you in my prayers that your wait will not be long and that everything turns out fine. Hi. I got here via Carnival of the Vanities.
