Well, I did it! Since February I have been working on something. Leading into phone calls and video chats. At the end of March I traveled to the Mayo Clinic all alone, and figured out all my appointments for the three days I was here. Some days appointments from 6am-5pm. I gave up drinking. My team here at Mayo delegated my case and on April 22nd I got the phone call. I was approved. I was flippen approved. Today at 7:45 am I became a live liver donor. Today I donated my left liver lobe. 💚 trying to save a life 💚

Thank you so much for giving someone the gift of life! My son has been going through the approval process so I know it isn’t easy. It takes a special person to give so much of themself - literally and figuratively. I am hopeful that my donor will be approved, and soon. Waiting for news is not easy. Best wishes for a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹 !!
