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!
