How about this cool story, bro !

A 14 year old boy had a heart transplant 12 weeks ago.
Doctors at Shands in Gainesville just cleared him to begin practicing baseball.

25 years ago I had a cousin, we were both 18. She always had heart problems and never saw 19. When she was in the hospital on her deathbed, her mom (my aunt) who was the nurse in charge of E.R. at Children's in Columbus, had a heart attack and died from the stress. 2 days later my cousin passed. It had been a long time since I thought about them, and its nice to know kids (and grownups) have more of a chance these days.

Thanks for the sincerity guys. Sometimes we forget the world is in some ways better than it used to be, medicine is one of the ways.
