Thanks so much, Tom, for letting us know. Barry's been with us so long and contributed so much and has such a STRONG spirit. I was just transferring addys from one old phonebook to a new one and noticed I still had the last hospital addy from Barry's first transplant.

Barry, I am grateful you went to the top of the list, but not that it took getting worse to get there! We love you and send an unending stream of good thoughts and thanks-givings for the best possible outcome for all concerned. The Mudcat has incredible powers for helping one another at such times, as you know. I've just experienced that, myself...coming up to my 8th week after aortic valve replacement and plenty of good energy from Mudcatters helped me through.

In Love and Peace Profound,

Kat & Rog
