Wish I could have been there to meet with all of you. However, a REALLY, REALLY, GOOD, thing happened. My husband received a kidney transplant on September 9th. He has had some set backs with rejection and a second surgery for bleeding, but is overall doing good. Hasn't had to have dialysis in over a week. Heading to Madison to bring him home today.

Kari, That is great news. Sounds like our prayers have been answered.

Kari, That is wonderful news, indeed! I hope his recovery continues speedily and fully, with no more problems of any kind. We missed you!
