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

2nd Dry Run

We just got back from the hospital for a 2nd dry run. We got a call this morning at 8:15am to go to the hospital. She said we would be a stand by. The lungs were hopefully going to a person who was having 2 different organ transplants at the same time, if both organs came here healthy he would get them, but if only the lungs were healthy, Alan would get them. He got them, and we are happy for him, we were only told that he had been waiting for some time. Alan will get lungs when the exact match is ready.

They did say we are at the top of their radar.

We appreciate your prayers, please pray for the others waiting and receiving transplants, and the whole transplant team, especially the surgeons. They are extremely busy right now.
