Kojo Sleeping, Bika nearby
Kojo is a sweet sweet 11 year old German Shorthair Pointer. He's a beautiful liver color, with a six pointed white star on his chest. He loves to run but alas is getting old and has been on chemo for lymphoma. He sleeps a lot now, but is always game for a romp with is younger sidekick, Jabu. Bika is sleeping nearby. Great pack!
University of Iowa Hospital
University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City, Iowa
On July 27th, 1991 I received a life saving
double organ transplant here.
Kidney and pancreas -
cured my diabetes and
saved me from renal failure
and a short life on dialysis.
Gina was my organ donor
- she was killed in a car
accident in Colorado.
The surgeons flew off this
building in a helicopter
and returned with my gift of life.
(Please consider checking YES
on your driver's license for
Organ Donor!
God forbid you should
ever be one though -
unless you are a LIVING donor.
Cheers!)
