My transplant was November 25 Tuesday 2014. My brother Ricky was my donor, which I will never be able to repay him for this amazing gift! We are both doing wonderful, my brother gets to go home tomorrow and me Saturday or Sunday. We've been up walking together visiting each other in each others rooms. we go to start a liquid diet today like broths, jello, milk, I love milk I haven't had it for 5 years and 4 months. I am very happy and thankful God is good!
