Late-breaking news: He's now status 1A!

Bob just called with this news....not sure for how long or why exactly, but will take it and hope for the best. I am going to see him this evening and bring him his phone charger so he can talk when he wants!

He never got the stress test or cardiac cath today, so he demanded some lunch around 3 pm and got it....then dinner at 5:30. Will start off tomorrow NPO again since they are certain to want to try again for those procedures.

RJ/Bob/Irv is a 61-year-old beloved husband, father, uncle, brother, motor racing fanatic, and Livermore resident who received a heart and kidney transplant in February of 2010. Bob's recent years have been defined by his health, which forced him into early retirement. Unfortunately, many of his days were spent in a dialysis center or at various medical appointments, primarily due to his living with diabetes for over 40 years. Numerous were panic visits to various Emergency Rooms all over California for treatment of chest pain. But now no more dialysis and no more late-night dashes to UCSF! The main focus of Bob's family, friends, and doctors has been a prompt transplant, so that he can get back to traveling with his Sweetie, driving fast cars, enjoying great music and laughing with his friends. This blog will function as a way to communicate with all interested parties and to keep everyone informed. And hopefully it can serve a great purpose also, in making people more aware of the importance of organ donation and how each life saved has a positive effect on dozens of related friends and relatives.
