Please pray for Cooper’s dad, Rich, Jr. He needs a live kidney donor. He has been dealing with kidney disease since 1997. After going on dialysis, he had to wait nearly 5 years for a transplant. Family and friends were tested, but none were suitable. In 2005 he had the transplant and did well for one year. He has married and now has a 9 month old son. He has been in rejection and his health continues to decline.

On 3/26/10, the cardiologist was emphatic about the need for a live donor. Currently the average waiting time is around 6 years. Dialysis keeps you alive but not healthy. More people die waiting for a transplant than those who actually have one. Our concern is, if he has to wait that long, he may not be healthy enough to have a transplant.

God bless you.

Rich and Nora Waliczek

What a good thing to see, babies having eye exam, cannot stress enough how important. My daughter had trouble with her eyes and we did not know. School exams did not show anything,and her school work did . We took her to the dr. and she had a focus problem. We wish we would have know earlier. good work. I think that baby is adorable , but I also have a relationship he is my great nephew and he was born on my birthday.
