Well, this book was an Amazing experience for me to read about, as I too am the Wife of a 40 year old Man who is waiting for a Heart Transplant. He was diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy November 2008 and had a Pacemaker/Defrillbulator placed in his chest for his 39th Birthday in Decmeber. After 6 months of treatment from the best Doc's @ Mayo Jacksonville, he was told his Heart is not showing improvement & he has now been on The List 8 months. It was Great to hear it from another perspective & also to really see that I am far from alone when it comes to this road we are facing. It also gave me strength, hope & inspiration. It made me realize how truly lucky we are to only have to travel to our "Backyard" 20 miles away to go to Mayo, instead of the 500 miles Lisa had to travel and that our Kid's are 4 & 5, not teenagers. Lisa opened my eyes to many things, mostly that she is an amazing woman & her Husband Miller has had his Transplant 10 years now, so that gives us tremendous hope that you can go on living a normal, productive & very Beautiful Life! Thank You Lisa! This is a must read, if you need a transplant, are a Caregiver or just a Family member or Friend of someone going through this! Enjoy!
