WONDERFUL news, and I do wish you both the very best of luck, even tho I personally think it has more to do with your positive attitude and your Dr's skills.

Now it's just some more of that 'Hurry up and wait' for your date to get here and get 'er done!

God Bless!

He had a transplant in November 2019.
