Hello All,
I am sitting here in my chair this morning so blessed, that it beyond overwhelming. My experience has been just that, and I am so thankful for all of the support, wonderful patient care, and hope that all of you send me. It is truly a Thanksgiving holiday gift that I will never forget. I often think about the donor family and their heartache this holiday season, in hopes that I can create the words in a letter to express my true gratitude, and admiration for the gift of life. I feel a little tired today, but I am stronger as each day passes. The doctors said my body is responding so well to the new liver, and they could not be happier with the lab tests. I will get released either this afternoon, or tomorrow morning. My dad is here with me today, and I have really enjoyed the visit and help he has given me. Larry headed home last night to get some things done today, and will return tomorrow.
Larry has been an absolute pillar of strength and support through all of this, and I am so very thankful. He has been truly amazing, and I will forever be thankful. Birdeen, you should be so proud of the boy you raised. Once again thank you all for the cards, flowers, calls and e-mails. I am surrounded by so much strength from all of you, it lifts me up.
Love,
Trish
