Some of you know that my husband Shawn Wilson was diagnosed with End Stage Renal Disease this past December. He is now on dialysis 3-5 days every week and is listed for a life-saving kidney transplant. Fortunately, I am a match and will be donating one of my kidneys to him hopefully this summer.
Shawn is a loving husband, wonderful father to my stepdaughter, Hannah (13) and our son Jackson (9). He is a, brother, son, cousin, uncle and good friend to many. He had to take a short leave of absence from work when he was diagnosed so he could adjust to dialysis but is now working full time and undergoing dialysis 3-5 days every week. Following the transplant, Shawn looks forward to being more active with Jackson and Hannah, watching them grow, going on to middle and high school, sending them to college and enjoying a long and healthy life.

Shawn had his transplant in June and is doing great. Both he and Monica have returned to work and family life has gotten back to somewhat normal. Shawn has had a few minor set backs with a blood clot and now blood too thick but other than that the new kidney is working well and he has his life back. He is back to spending time with his kids rather than sitting at a dialysis center. He will be coaching his son’s basketball team starting in December. He would not have had time for that prior to his surgery. Thanks to all who have prayed for him and his family and to all who have contributed to the various fund raisers.
