I am writing today in much joy instead of sorrow, which is where I would be today if The Baptist Courier had not printed the story on my dad’s need for a transplant. June 22 will be a month since his liver and kidney transplants, and he is doing very well.
I just wanted you to know that the story printed in the Courier jumpstarted the fund-raising for us. My family and I are forever grateful to the Courier for allowing the story to be run, and we will never be able to repay all who took the time to care enough to help save Dad’s life.
Dad and Mom are still in Charleston; Dad has been out of the hospital for about a week, and he has had no signs of rejections as of yet. Dad is continuing to gain his strength back; he had lost a lot of muscle mass due to not having an appetite before the transplant. With some luck, we are hoping he’ll be back home in about a month.
His recovery will still continue, and it has been a tough month for him, but we see Dad improving every day.
I just wanted to let you know that we as his family appreciate all that you did for us, and we continue to pray that God’s will be done.
