A diagnosis for a Veteran out of nowhere….
Charlie Miller served our country in Vietnam from 1972-1974, and like many veterans of that war (reported 1 out of every 10), he returned home with Hepatitis C. Although his hepatitis was cured in recent years, the lasting effects have left him with cirrhosis, leading to liver cancer. Charlie now only has 10% of his liver function left and needs a liver transplant in order to survive.

Charlie checked out of the hospital on Thursday, August 31st, after a 26-day hospital stay. He's begun the road to recovery at the apartment they rented in Utah. He's making huge strides each day and adjusting to his new requirements each day. Our family is so grateful to be able to embark on these new changes together and will continue to help Charlie get back to himself again. Every day is a gift, and we still cannot believe he has gotten this second chance at life. Charlie is grateful for all those rooting for him and the support he has and continues to receive. Thank you for believing in him as much as we do!

After spending ten days in the trauma ICU and five days on the transplant floor, Charlie has now graduated to the hospital's highly sought-after rehabilitation program. He is making huge strides every day and is eager to do the hard work to get his strength back and be discharged from the hospital. Our family is incredibly grateful for the care Charlie has received from everyone at Intermountain Medical Center, and we feel confident they will be able to get Charlie where he needs to be. We are also incredibly moved by the support of our friends and family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
