Kevin Carter Wood.

 MY HERO, along with six others.

Kevin's lungs were given to a 20 year old man from the houston area. His lungs were failing bc of a disease called cystic fibrosis which he has been living with all of his life. He is reported as doing very well and was discharged ten days after the transplant. He lives with his parents and stepbrothers and plans to go back to college this next semester. He has many aspirations and can now strive for those with his new outlook in life.

Kevin's liver was given to an 18 year old woman living in Jasper, TX. Her liver was failing bc of cirrhosis type D and has had two previous transplants that were unsuccessful. However, this transplant had immediate function, and she is reported as doing very well. She is extremely thankful for her new life and says she is going back to college soon to fulfill her dreams.

Kevin's heart was given to a 14 year old girl living in Tucson, AZ. Her heart disease was caused by congenital cardiomypathy, which is poor functioning of the heart muscle. She was very ill at the time of the transplant and unfortunetly did not survive. Her parents expressed their sincere gradtitude for a chance they thought would never come.

Both od kevin's kidneys were also transplanted. His left kidney was given to a 47 year old man living in the Pine Grove, PA. His renal failure was a result of an infection which caused hin to require dialysis every other day. He is married with two children and hopes to return to his contruction job soon. The right kidney was given to a 71 year old man living in Bismark, ND. He has had diabetes since 1980 which caused his kidney's to fail. He and his wife are extremely anxious to resume an active retirement and are very thankful for this new life Kevin has given them.

Kevin's pancreas was transplanted into a 46 year old man living Illinios. He had diabetes and required continuous monitoring o fhis blood sugar with multiple insulin injections. He is a widowed father to three children that he loves very much and receives tremendous support. He is doing well after the transplant, and hopes to return to a more normal life.
