Alan's Reflections

First of all, I would like to thank you for your prayers and concern for us - Judy and me. Your prayers are especially appreciated because through prayer and God's help anything is possible. Faith, determination, family, and friends are going to be the anchors that pull me through this difficult time. (I am a Navy guy, you know.)

Some of you like to give me a hard time, that is appreciated too! I know you are just doing so because you care. I look forward to many more fun times with each of you. May God bless and keep you.

Signing off with the name my grandchildren call me,
Dude

We got the call today!!!!

We got the call from Duke to relocate to Durham and begin the transplant process. We immediately contacted the apartment complex where we will be living and set up the week-end of July 12th & 13th to relocate. Alan made arrangements to get his oxygen delivered the day before we arrive. So, we have 2 weeks
to get arrangements made for everything here, close the house up, load the car up and head to Durham.
He will go immediately to the Duke Pepsico Fitness Center and begin respiratory therapy like he has been doing here since January. He will also have to go to the clinic for more tests. He is excited and anxious to breathe again, and I am a little frightened, but full of hope. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

I will update again when we get to Durham. Judy & Alan
