It's A Celebration

There are many milestones in our lives - birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, births, etc.; some more remarkable than others.  We recently celebrated one of those remarkable milestones in our home.  In January, Georgia completed her 20th year on dialysis.  She has been without a working kidney for over 29 years.  This 20-year anniversary is celebrated by a very few number of dialysis patients, as the mortality rate for dialysis patients is 25%.  It has been Georgia's remarkable courage, strength, and fortitude which has held her up through all those years.  I am very proud of her and hope you are also.

Any survival on dialysis requires a team effort, so congrats to the team, Larry & Georgia. From my bygone internship days I remember that those who survived on dialysis had a strong will to live. I wish we could bottle some of Georgia's.
Love Mike & Thelma

Just found the new blog, so thanks to Larry Jr.
