POST OP DAY 365!!!!! One year ago today we were in a very different place in our lives. My precious brother was recovering in the CICU at UAMS
following his 8 hour liver transplant. As I’ve said so many times over the past year, we are so forever grateful to the person who chose organ donation and gifted Darrin with a second chance at life. So many prayers for peace and comfort to the family who lost their loved one, and a million thank yous to the transplant team who took such good care of our Darrin. There were so many unknowns, so many fears, questions, emotions, the list goes on. Darrin’s recovery has been nothing short of a miracle. He has overcome so many obstacles that we never imagined possible. One year ago he joked about filling a soup bowl with the amount of pills he took morning and night. Today- he takes one pill in the am and one in the pm. If you didn’t know he had been transplanted, you wouldn’t know. He looks and feels great. He’s healthy. He is back to doing what he loves….
Being present in LIFE!!!
He and Ashley have been attending Razorback games where they get to watch Anna on pom squad, they’ve traveled all over Arkansas to see Whit play Catholic High football this season, he’s cooking again 🙂, hunting, and tackling house projects, attending Sunday dinners at my parents house, spending time with friends and family, all the things that matters most to him. Darrin no longer has to sit back and watch anymore, he’s participating in life, and loving every minute of it. To everyone who has followed his journey, prayed for him, made donations, provided meals, THANK YOU. A HUGE THANK YOU. We are forever grateful.
