You don't know me...kimb884March 31 2006, 16:15:17 UTC
Hi. My name is Kim, and I know you don't know me, but I'm a friend of Heidi's. I was on LiveJournal and I just happened to see your post about your step-brother. I was intrigued because my boyfriend just had open heart surgery on March 6th and he's only 21. They almost had to put him on the transplant list too, but they kind of tried an experimental surgery on him. I don't know exactly what you are going through, but I am sympathetic and feel for him and your family. I will keep all of you in my thoughts.

Wow, thank you so much. It does mean a lot. He just had a transplant and was doing wonderfully, but the heart started rejecting. Before, my step-brother had a defibulator in him. Now it is gone and has a new heart. The doctors say he has such a strong immune system that it's locating his new heart as a foreign object and not his. So we will see what happens from here.
Thank you for your compassion. It definetly has been a rollercoaster ride. I hope you and your boyfriend don't have to go to those extremes. But I do have to say that the U of M hospital has gone beyond my expectations! They are amazing. What a great team there. If your boyfriend has further problems send him there. They are a great heart hospital. One of the best in the world. Best luck to you and thank you again. I hope all is well. :-)
