Journal entry by Becky Wesdorp —
A message from DA!!
WHEW! That was a close one. From the time I was admitted on November 27 when I checked in for a routine test to see if the medication could be increased until my release 10 weeks later with the donor heart was filled with several ups and downs before and after the transplant. My family and I will never underestimate the power of prayer there is no other way to explain the way things played out especially on Christmas Day: We were blessed to have so many prayers and well wishes from so many people along the way. My heart is now 100% healthy and strong in every way and all other organs are back to normal. Currently I am able to perform daily functions with little to no help. Building strength for other activities will take a bit longer. We can’t thank everyone enough for all of the support and it’s in our thoughts every day. When things seem too tough I work harder at a task or exercise knowing that I’m doing the best that I can for everyone involved including all of you. Looking forward, I plan to live as healthy of a lifestyle as possible (with a few beers along the way of course 😉).
We will continue to pray for the donor’s family.
