Successful Triple Transplant Surgery Recovery @ Boston Children's Hospital w/ mom @ his side
Hi John,
Well,first, how are you?? I can't ever say enough how totally, completely grateful to you (ACCFCB) all of us are for your help,,,,due to your endless support and generosity,,,,you contributed so much to his recovery,,,,as I've said to you so many times,,,can't say it enough,,I couldn't even begin to imagine what we would have done without you,,,,my mind couldn't even "go there" while he was still in the hospital, as I was overwhelmed with worry,,,,and the absolutely terrifying future worry of what in the world we would do with his required out patient stay and the subsequent trips to Boston,,,,,
Anyway,,here is a wonderful pic of Buddy with Dr. Kim, the brilliant doctor who gave my son his life,,,,,,and some other pics,,,,,and I hope not too upsetting pic of this Dr. Kim's work...
Then,,some wonderful "after" pics,,,,,I remember wanting a pic of Dr.Kim with Buddy days after his transplant,,and doc said he wanted to wait until Buddy was up and around,,,and now I see why,,,,,
Hope things are well with you,,,,and thank you again with all of our hearts,,,,
Best, as always
Dee (Buddy's mom)

Hi Dee,
Thank you for the updates and the photos!
I plan to update his part of our web site with a couple of the photos soon. What a blessing his situation has turned out to be. Your son as well as your family deserves a lot of credit for handling the situation as well as you have.
It certainly makes us feel good knowing the impact that our organization has in such delicate situations as yours.
Thank you very much for the feedback, I will share it with our group.
Sincerely,
John R Smith, President ACCFCB
