There is no better news than a life being saved, and this week, a dear friend's life was saved by the generosity of an organ donor.

He has Cystic Fibrosis and got a new pair of lungs late Wednesday night! Today, at noon, he is completely off the ventilator, breathing on his own, sitting up and smiling from ear to ear!!! Breaking records already!

He still has a long road ahead of him facing the risks of infection and organ rejection, but we are optimistic, and praying every second for a continuous recovery with the hopes that he is soon at home with his wife and two young sons!

In the donor's family's time of loss, we just hope that they find peace in knowing that their loved one saved the life of at least one VERY grateful young man! Words cannot express how thankful we all are.

For us, it has been a great week... and for that, we are ever so grateful!
