A Turn For The Worse

A year ago Cap'n Ed's wife, the First Mate, needed and miraculously received a pancreas transplant. But recently, due to a viral infection, she now finds herself in need of a new kidney as well.

She can survive on her current anti-viral medication regimen and, if need be, a resumption of dialysis, but with the average wait for a transplant being four to five years, well, that's a miserable proposition to contemplate. Frankly, I don't know how Ed manages to keep blogging. In his place I'd be too distracted to write anything. Guess that says something for his inner strength, and hers as well.

Hold them both in your prayers, that another miracle will soon descend from the Great Healer above.
