I am a wife, mother, grandmother, nurse and beyond grateful liver transplant recipient. My transplant journey began over eight years ago…

We have deep gratitude for everyone who played a key role in the story of my second shot at life—for Kristofer, for the surgeons and nurses, and for UNOS.

I woke up one Sunday morning in March, 2017 with my left arm swollen.
