We need your input

It's been a little over 2 weeks since our father's passing and we continue to be deeply saddened yet very thankful he is no longer suffering. Neysa and I know the value of the trip we took with our father and we spent priceless times with him during this entire process. We greatly appreciate all the gifts, cards and donations that have been given. You have given our family strength and we love the stories you've shared. We remember our father (brother, uncle, friend, significant other, grandpa, x-husband, father-in-law and all others) and all the happy times he gave all of us. We miss him dearly.

If you would like to give the gift of life, I've added a link to update your organ donor status on the right side of this blog.

My intention for this blog is to educate people all over the world about liver transplants and I hope that it will continue to do this. I don't want people to be discouraged by our story because I know if we had it to do over again we would. We look back at our options without health insurance and I'm sure our family would chose Medical Tourism over and over again.

So now it's your turn, what would you like to know in this blog and how can I continue to help people who are in need of an organ transplant?

Thank-you

Many of you have been asking where you can send flowers or what you can do to help. If you would like to contribute to the "Michael Quintana Fund" to help us with medical expenses, the link to make this contribution is on the first page of this blog. We would also like to encourage all of you to consider being organ donors. In order to do this you must register with http://www.organdonor.gov/. (Just registering as an organ donor when you get your drivers license is not enough.) Our family would like to thank everyone for your love and support through this difficult time.
