A card from the recipient! I wont write exactly what the card says but he said,' you're my hero, I feel 20 years younger, I have NO measurable disease at this time, I surely would have died without you. Etc!!!' I almost cried reading it!! It was hard for FH last year beforehand. He had to make frequent trips into the city, give himself 3 shots a day of something and had horrible side effects, but he did it and IT WORKED! The man is alive!!

They will get to meet in June! I cant wait! Were all so happy!

Thanks - Hollie - I told him about you, and he just doesnt believe it - he's so happy about it!

You can tell him that I scheduled my appointment for 4/29 at 10:30 AM, since I am off that day. I must admit it's a little scary, but I think that it is an amazing gift! You scored a 'keeper' with him! LOL!!
