Happy 3rd Transplant Anniversary!

On January 28th, we celebrated Weston's third Transplant Anniversary. Three blessed years! Of course, we know these three years have had their fair share of complications, but we know how fortunate and unbelievably blessed we are to have our little boy still with us.














You go Bubby!!


We may have done the whole candles and song thing 3 or 4 times.



It's weird to think that he has lived the majority of his life with a donor liver. It is heartbreaking to consider how different the outcome would have been if the advances in modern medicine that allowed for his diagnosis, transplant and maintenance did not exist.

I've met a lot of people recently (in the healthcare field) that are not organ donors and/or not supportive of it. While it usually feels like a kick in the gut to me, I calmly wait till it is appropriate and tell them Weston's story. Maybe it will put a new perspective on organ donation for them. Maybe they will be a little more open minded.

All I know is, our donor family made the courageous decision to say "yes" and our precious Donor Angel saved my son's life. He grows and thrives because of you, Little Angel. To me, you'll always be with us, laughing and living through Weston.

God bless.
