Dillon and I are skippin town, just as soon as he gets home from classes and taking a test! Tomorrow is Friday the 13th and the day Dillon's cousin's life will change forever! Dillon's cousin Jesse is only 16 years old and has been sick the entire time I have known him. I don't know all the details but I do know that one of Jesse's kidneys is the size of a nut and, obviously, not functioning. It has really been a problem for him the last little while. This fall Jesse was put on dialysis and only been going to school part time. Before going on dialysis Jesse had to be very careful with what he ate and was a measley 95(ish) lbs. Seeing as how he is 5'10...that is pretty twiggy! Well now that he has been put on dialysis he has gained somewhere around 20-30 lbs and is a totally different kid! He is happy, active and doesn't stop eating! :) Well...his days of being the star of dialysis (the closest person to his age was 50 something I think he said) are over!!!! Tomrrow Dillon's mom Celynn is giving Jesse her left (?) kidney! She began the screening process between Thanksgiving and Christmas and was a perfect match! CONGRATS Jesse and good luck to both of you! WE LOVE YOU!

That is so awesome! :) I want to be a donor before I die or most definitely when I die. :) What an awesome gift to give her son!
That is so cool! Good luck to both of them!
Wow! I had no idea she was doing that, that is really neat. Hope they both have a speedy recovery!
