Heart Transplantation-sc69sam!

Sam,

Here is a picture of my daughter when she was about 3 years old. She is standing next to Shannon Millen (who is Rod Millen's ex wife...now) and her son Connor. Both Holly and Connor had heart transplants within 6 months of each other at Loma Linda Hospital, in Loma Linda, California.

Holly was 5 1/2 months old at the time of her transplant, and Connor was about a month old. Holly is 14 years old now!

Notice the sweatshirt that Holly is wearing...it's a copy of our California license plate. It translates to new heart kid. The transplant kids that were invited to this race were also in a video that was shown before the start of the race...too cool!

This picture was taken at the "Mickey Thompson Stadium Off Road Grand Prix" in Anaheim, California, a few years before Mickey Thompson was gunned down by two %*sholes hired by Ron Goodwin.

Holly has also met and has a few posters signed by Carroll Shelby , who also had a heart transplant in June 1990, one month after Holly did!

Sam, I know that you realize how lucky we both are. Next time you see your son, tell him that he's included in our prayers every night!
