Hi everyone,
After a very long but beautiful day, I wanted to provide one last update. Earlier tonight both Alex and Ken were moved from PACU where they had been recovering to their hospital rooms. Both are doing really well. They even had a chance to briefly see one another which needless to say was a rather amazing moment.
Tomorrow and the days after it will certainly present its own set of challenges, and we realize tomorrow begins a new journey, one of recovery and continued advocacy for all living donors and those seeking organ transplants. But I would be remiss in not taking pause and marvelling at today's events. Thanks to the selflessness of a wonderful man I am honored to call my brother-in-law and the skilled hands of the Ochsner surgeons and entire transplant team, my dad received the ultimate gift, the gift of life. There are no words to quite describe the immense joy and excitement we are all feeling right now. I am also speechless and truly humbled by the outpouring of love and support you have all given us today. It strengthened our families and helped us push through every hour as we waited and prayed and prayed some more. Today was just one day, but one that will never be forgotten. Thank you so much for being a part of it. I will continue to provide updates tomorrow and throughout the week as the recovery period for Alex and Ken continues.
Until the next time, may the Lord carry us on our journey,
Greg
