| Indeed everything was ok. Jason bounced back from his crash, he was weaned off the respirator, and in about ten days he was released from the hospital. Jason will be turning seven in December of 2001, and to date he has had no rejection episodes or any problems related to his transplant. He does all things any other six-year-old boy does, is very active, and is a joy to have around. People are always amazed to find out that he had a transplant ,because they would never have imagined it otherwise. |
| Jason's follow-up care includes a trip to Denver Children's Hos- pital every four months for an EKG, bloodwork, and echocardiogram. He looks forward to his trips to Denver and enjoys the attention he gets from the staff there. He also is scheduled for a cardiac catheterization every other year for a more |
| in-depth check of his new heart. We still live with the possibility of rejection, but we've learned to take each day for what it is, and thank God for the time we have together. I hope Jason's Story has touched you deeply and has helped you in some way, as I know it has for us. God bless. |
