John, libby is doing far better than we ever expected her to do, she was accepted for an experimental procedure thats being developed, they mapped her arteries and located contrictions and blockages thruout her body, then went in and put stents where they were needed to open them up and restore normal blood flow, her improvement was dramatic and immediate.  I was told that many of the reasons organs fail is not becuase the organ gets diseased but lots of times it's becuse the organ starves for blood and that if normal blood flow can be restored, the organ can sometimes recover and do well, that was the case with her, one of the areas they placed stents was in her kidneys, within 3 days they were discussing her removal from the kidney transplant list and finally removed her from it.  The miricle here is that many of the thousands of kidney patients that are waiting now can possibly under go this procedure and live a normal life with the kidneys God gave them without dialysis or any threat of rejection.  So far this procedure is limited to those with organs, if the success rate continues to be as high as they anticpate they may expand the program to include those with pianos, lol (sorry).

Very interesting design, did you build it? Where did the stone come from, or is it concrete block?

I would like to see the inside, maybe you could hide the pics from Cody and Libby huh! ;D

I Like It!
