My Story

Julia is a wonderfully happy 4 year old little girl. When Julia was 4.5 months old she was diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy. In December 2007 we found out that Julia would need to have a heart transplant. Julia was placed on the UNOS list on January 11, 2008. Julia recieved her new heart on May 15, 2008.

It has been forever and a day since I have blogged.  We are all doing great.  Julia was selected by the transplant coordinators to be one of the children representing Donor Alliance.  She was able to take pictures for a billboard that will be up at Colfax and Pennsylvania in Denver and she was filmed for a commercial featuring Olympic Bronze Medalist Chris Klug who is a liver reciepient and another little boy who received a heart.  You can see the commercial at http://sz0074.ev.mail.comcast.net/service/home/~/DONOR%20AWARENESS_30rev.mpg?auth=co&loc=en_US&id=62216&part=2 
We feel very honored to be able to share our story and hope that this will remind people how important organ donation is.  The commercial will start running on the 20th of April.  We also want to use this as an opportunity to thank our donor family and all of the donors and donor families out there.  Words can never express how thankful we are that we have been given such a wonderful gift.
Please take a look at the pictures in our album from todays event and make sure you are a register organ donor at http://www.coloradodonorregistry.org/ or google for the information for your state.
Have a wonderful day and enjoy the gift of life.
