Continuing Education

As we prepare for Dad's big day we will all need to learn how to deal with the multitude of issues involved with a transplant. These classes won't be the kind you can put on your resume, but will be beneficial none the less. All friends and family that will be involved in Mike's care are welcome to attend any of the classes. They will be held in the Comal/Frio Conference Room at The Methodist Hospital (6565 Fannin Street). No RSVP is needed. Just show up. There are more dates available after these. Just let me know if none of these work for you.

In The Beginning

It is hard to know exactly what to say on this monumental first post. This blog is to help keep friends and family of Mike Nall updated on his progress before and after his heart transplant. It could be weeks or months before the big day arrives, but there will certainly be lots of information, stories, and memories to share as we pass the time. There will be posts made by many of his family members. We are even hoping that occasionally the patient himself will have some tidbits of wisdom to share with us. I have no doubt that these pages will eventually be filled with humor that will carry this family through this life changing event.
