@muskiemama oh my goodness. Your message just gave me goosebumps. I can't believe the timing. He had the transplant only yesterday? I'm so happy for you and your husband. So begins day 1 of your next 15, 20, 25+ years. Thank you for telling me.

Please join me, @rosemarya and others in the Transplant group and share your story! https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/transplants/

Yes, just yesterday - the greatest gift of all, a second chance. Overwhelmed today with thoughts of his donor/family and so deeply grateful. Hubby is doing well.

Beautiful news!!! This is wonderful!! I'm happy for both you and your husband. I can feel the happiness, joy, and relief myself as I recall that special moment myself. I am glad your husband is doing well. And now maybe you can get a good night's rest!! Our organ donors are the real heroes in today's world. God bless them and their families for giving life. Thank you for sharing this glorious news!!

Colleen, I had registered for the chat but then missed it due to being with my husband as he took his first walk - he lapped the ICU :-). Will this be archived?

You didn't miss it @muskiemama. The video Q&A is on July 22 (and it will be archived for viewing later). Good that you registered for it. You'll get a reminder 1 day and 1 hour before the chat goes live.

Congrats on the first walk about the ICU! What a champ. When does he get his room upgrade out of ICU?

Oh my gosh, somehow I thought it was today! He just got kicked out of the ICU, bed needed for a sicker patient :-). Life is good indeed!

I'm not surprised you got muddled with the date. You've got a lot of things going on. It's just so exciting that they are all such good things today. Happy moving day.

Miracles at Mayo Clinic!
Sending silent blessings.
