A Transplant Journey

RECYCLED PARTS: one family's journey with heart transplantation

Thursday, October 27, 2011

One Year


Today Michael's heart transplant journey is one year young!  Michael was taken to the operating room just after midnight in the early hours of October 27th, 2010.  The donor heart arrived around 1 a.m. with the surgery wrapping up around 6:15 a.m.  It's been a year of ups and a year of downs, full of learning, reflecting, loving, and resilience... and also an additional year of Michael continuing to be a father, son, husband, uncle and friend.


This is also a time to reflect on the difficult time the donor family must be having as surely this anniversary does not bring the same joyful feelings.  Our entire family is grateful for the priceless [and best] gift given by the donor family.  Thank you.
