Hi everyone,
Deacon Norm and I just came back from visiting with Diane and Doug in the hospital. In case you haven’t heard, yesterday, as planned for months, Diane donated one of her kidneys to her husband Doug. We are pleased to report that both are doing excellent.
Diane looks great and is in good spirits, surrounded by the love of family, friends, and her faith community. She is recovering so well, in fact, that she likely will be discharged tomorrow. Doug looks very good but his recovery will be slower. The great news is that his body has already accepted the kidney and he is making good progress. He won’t be discharged until next week.
We give thanks to God for all this. Diane appreciates emails, but it may be awhile before she can respond as she needs to rest and recover, especially once she returns home.
The family asks for our continued prayers. They are very grateful for everyone’s prayers and love.
Good Shepherd is a wonderful community of caring. Thanks for all you are and all you do.
Faithfully,
Fr. Hal
