Gary was transplanted with a new stomach, intestine, pancreas, liver, and duodenum April 25, 2005.

His mom's recent post:
the word just came....Gary is in rejection because of the rota virus....they found it in his stomach....it stings so deeply
and everything in me wants to panic...
If you are reading this note please ask for the Lord's protection over G and his transplanted organs, for wisdom for our team,
and success in attempting to overcome this rejection caused by this horrible virus....
thank you for your prayers....Godspeed

You can read updates about Gary here, and sign their guestbook if you'd like. http://www.caringbridge.org/ga/garysjourney05/index.htm
Thanks,
Karol

Karol, I feel like an idiot. I apologize I didn't read your original post date. I checked out Caringbridge, the last update was October 15th. Do you have an update on Gary? Again, I'll be sure to watch the dates on the posts. Thanks.
