Good Morning Everybody,
Life is amazing!
It has been over 9 months since my beautiful donor and friend Hudson gave me the gift of life. I am in good health and still visit the great team of doctors for checkups.
So now, I am now planning ahead for the second phase of this story. I am being placed on the national list for a Pancreas, thus ending my diabetes and extending the life of my kidney. I am going to need financial assistance during my recovery post transplant.
All of you that donated to my cause, I am so grateful, and now, ask to help me again. If you have anybody that may be touched by my story, please pass this link on.
God bless you all,
David

I have been able to spend some quality time with my Angel/Donor Hudson, she is here for required meet with the transplant staff at Sharp K/P transplant. It is so great to catch up.

Hello Everyone,
I have been to several specialists and have come to the conclusion that surgery on my foot is not the answer. We are changing tact on the way we are treating wound care and will look to heal this foot very soon. I am blessed.

Good Monday Morning,
I have been informed on Friday that I will need to postpone my transplant surgery so that I may have a separate surgery on my foot, this must be done in order to have a sucessfull transplant. The good folks at Sharp K/P Transplant Center are really looking out for my best interests. We shall move ahead God willing.

Rough day so far...my body is rebelling and I am trying to work with what I have. Thanks Dr Ahn for nyour advice and help. Will have to rest a lot today. Hudsons testing is complete and is coming to San Diego in a week to talk with doctors and surgeons about plan, she has been a super trooper about all this. She is gold.

There seems to be a very quiet place here before the storm. No doctors this week, plenty of paperwork to fill out and arrangements to be made. I am so glad to have my girl, Lisa, by my side, as well as my kids and family. They Love me.
I urge everyone out there to investigate the issues of Living Donation and Diabetes.Talk to you all soon!

Hello Everyone,
Testing has begun for Hudson Nin, she will take a Glocuse tolerence test to determine her ability to donate ,as did my daughter Heather. Please send you best wishes her way so that we can move towards a surgery day. Still shooting for mid October.
August 28, 2014
I have learned in life that change is part of the deal...I learned yesterday that my daughter Heather will not be able to donate a kidney to me.I love my daughter so dearly and ask folks to give her a big hug when you see her. By wanting to help me, I know that God smiles on her. Hudson Nin will step in as the alternate, again, I am so blessed to have more on my plate than I will ever know...To be continued....
August 26, 2014
As of today, I am launching an email campaign with all my friends and family to get involved with helphopelive.org. Keeping off of social media for the moment until I receive a surgery date. Please wish me the very best and we start!

Today is testing day for my daughter/ donor Heather. She is having Glucose Tolerence testing and having 14 vile of her blood drawn. This is not so comfortable for her because she is a bit squeemish about needles. She is doing this because she really loves me..it leaves me speechless sometimes.

Greetings one and all,
I am getting very close to a kidney transplant date. I have been blessed with two people that have stepped up as my matched donors, Heather Ybarra, my daughter and Hudson Nin, a very dear friend.The good folks at Sharp Kidney/Pancreas transplant center, here in San Diego are testing my daughter first and Hudson second as a backup. My overall health is not very good at the moment and working has become non existant. I am so glad for an organization like Helphopelive.org More to follow.
