5-year anniversary
Two personal off-topic
notes...While most folks are
remembering another 5-year anniversary this weekend, for us it has a very
personal significance as well—today we celebrate 5 years since Kekula got
a new liver and got her life back. (She went into surgery on the 8th and 11
hours later came out on the 9th. Her first day being really awake after coming
out of ICU was 9/11...)We give endless
thanks, most of all to Marilyn Santana, the woman who made a decision to be an
organ donor, and to her family who supported that decision in their time of
mourning. And to the medical teams at St. Francis and Kuakini. Without all of
them, she would not be alive
today.Support organ
donation. Make sure being a donor is
on your driver's license when you renew, and talk to your family about it so
they know your wishes should the time
come.
And... Happy Birthday to my older
brother Shawn!
