6 Month Transplanniversary

Our paternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, Michael and our parents, Mary & John, at Michael's First Communion in the 1970's.

Today is the six month anniversary of my brother, Michael's, heart transplant.  His biopsies are less frequent, rejection is minimal and his medications have continually been reduced.  Michael is gradually gaining stamina & weight!  My memories of Michael as a kid was of him devouring a can of Coke and a bag of salt & vinegar chips.  Post-transplant, he now has a ravishing sweet tooth...it would seem that it came with the heart :D
