@the_author_ Thanks! She is. Took about a year post-transplant to get to that point, which was scary, but now it feels like a miracle.
@the_author_ Congratulations! It's definitely a journey. 2.5 years after my mom's, I'm in her house right now supporting her.

I look forward to each and every episode of @onthemedia. Smart media commentary and interviews. If you're not listening, you should be.
