Cowboy Kidney Donation

Did you see the news last week about Ron Springs and Emerson Walls? Springs needed a new kidney, and his former Cowboy teammate donated one in an operation in Dallas last week. Springs had deteriorated to a very needy situation, but he still was not due a kidney from the transplant list. He had lost his right foot and several toes from his left foot. And he had been on dialysis for years. A living donor now will keep me from getting to that condition.

And if you note, Springs had been through some of the same heartache I have had, when many of you have tried to donate, but been unable to do it for different reasons. It is far more difficult to work this out than I would have ever imagined a few years ago.

Anyway, here is a link to the Springs / Walls story:
