I Wanna Be Sedated

Hello out there - Daughter Leslie signing on to contribute to RJ's blog:

Mom and I are up and awaiting the arrival of Andy and Linsey. We'll head back to UCSF soon. RJ is still being kept under sedation to keep him comfortable while the breathing tube is in place. His brother Gary has been at his side since shortly after we left this morning around 5:30am. He arrived at his bedside after a late night flight coming back from Florida.

Ok, now it is 30 min later, Andy and Linsey have arrived and left again with Mom back to the city. We'll follow soon!

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.
