Happy 3rd Re-Birthday to Deb!
This week, we were ecstatic to celebrate Deb's 3rd "Re-Birthday" with our friends at the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics!
In November 2016, Deb received her second chance at life after an 11-hour liver transplant at UIHC Transplant Center. In honor of the third anniversary of this incredible life event, Deb and Ed were gifted a cake from Iced Bakery in Marion, Iowa in a custom dragonfly design. Deb and Ed shared their marble cake with strawberry frosting at UIHC on Wednesday, November 6th.
A Message from Jim & Carol Cutler
“We, as well as the Browns, anxiously awaited word that perhaps this would be the last trip involving an actual transplant. Finally, the ultimate gift occurred and Star was able to get the rest of her family back home full-time!"
Jack Blong Shares His Dragonfly Transplant Fund Story
“I am very proud of the way my uncle and aunt Ed and Deb are using their new beginning in life to give back to others. Whether it is the dedicated room or transplant awareness, the Dragonfly Fund is a charity I will continue to support and be involved with in the future."
