Kacie's Golden Anniversary...

I posted this for Kacie's 11th-year kidney transplant anniversary.
Wow, it's been 11 years today on the 11th of May...Kacie's golden (kidney transplant) anniversary!  I can still remember it like it was yesterday.  When we got the call at 10pm we had to unhook Kacie from her dialysis machine and wake her to tell her she had a donor.  Kacie was scared to death and didn't want to go.  It wasn't until after Scott gave her a priesthood blessing that she was able to calm down.  We arrived in Portland at 5:00am and we know angels were watching over us as we drove in the dark with it pouring rain.  I still don't think I believed it was really happening when they took her back to surgery at 11am.  I think it finally sunk in when one of her many doctors told us that her new kidney was already producing urine before her surgery was even finished, which is really rare.  What a miracle...I still get teary when I think of the donor and family.  What an incredible gift of life and we are eternally grateful!  We love you Kacie and so proud of you and also of the way you have taken such good care of your kidney.  #donttakeyourorganstoheaven #kidneytransplant #donatelife
This was also wonderful news when Kacie told us she passed the written portion of her cosmetology test with an 80%.   She just has the 4-hour practical test to do on June 7th.  We are so proud of you Kacie!
