Mucho Gracias!

These blog posts are more than just my spouting off to hear myself. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to remember some detail about Albert’s transplant and went back here to look up that detail. It truly is my journal.

You never know when something you put on another web site will dissappear. I have control of this and I can keep it alive as long as I want. Photos or other things hosted elsewhere might go away, but the basic data is kept at my discretion.

It would be an exercise in futility to try to thank every person who posted kind words, or comments around the web the past few days about Frank. The more I’d try the more likely I’d miss someone, so I’ll just say thank-you to everyone for your support and interest. Please remember we need your support at our fundraisers, too. I’d like to see everyone at the Franquet next month and thank you personally then, if I can be there, of course.

Now we are there, we wait.

When Frank called me, he was unsure what to do next. The hospital wanted us to get there quickly, but also mentioned getting on the road and driving. Reading between the lines, this told me that the donor organs were probably not yet “harvested” and still in someone who was clinically dead, but on life support. They’d be able to stall while we drove the 6-7 hours to get there. Continue Reading…

Here I am again…

…sitting in a hospital waiting for things to start to happen.

Frank as he arrives in Teeterboro, NJ

In case you don’t know me or read this blog, back in 2008 I was in a similar situation in UPMC in Pittsburgh when my eldest son, Albert, had a double lung transplant.

I’ve gotten away from blogging here recently, having been lured away by the instant gratification of Facebook. I think that it’s time to get back on here now though, because I’m here again supporting my second son, Frank, as he faces the same situation. I think serious matters require a serious platform. I’ll link to FB, of course. Continue Reading…
