Update on Don Boxmeyer

Update: This picture is very special. This is Thora, holding a picture of her son Joe, my donor and lifesaver.

I am now at one with a new kidney and liver and to imagine that someone was generous enough even in death to share his body with me still overwhelms me. I have never approached such a formidable task/challenge and now the difficult medical journey is close to a successful end and a new phase of my recovery will begin. I am deeply grateful for your hundreds of messages and support and cards. To think that many of you who don’t even know me took time to express your concern is humbling. To all of the waiting pre-transplant people and children please have patience and hope and I’ll keep you in my prayers.
Thanks to the wonders of medicine, and I firmly believe all your prayers, I have a bright future to look to.

Thank you all for all of your visits to my dad's caringbridge sight. He is at peace now and is no longer struggling to breathe.

We will all miss him greatly and think of him often.
