July 3rd, the day that changed Valen’s life. July 3rd, the day of the year that the Krasnovs take to honor their donor who saved Valen’s life and reflect on all of the life that Valen has gotten to experience.
Thanks to his donor, Valen has learned to stand and walk again, be a big brother, learned how to swing, had birthdays, enjoy treats, have wishes granted, played at the ocean, go to school, graduate preschool, attend field trips, have family time, had the chance to swim, and experience many new “firsts.” For his family and friends, they have had two years of memories, two years of experiences, two years of love and laughter, and two years of new “firsts” too.
With all of the “new” and “firsts,” the Krasnovs have had to figure out a whole new way of life – two years of medical trauma, two years of hospital visits, two years of labs, two years of medical bills and much more. There is no cure for transplant recipients. However, there are magical moments to be had and many more to experience. Valen and his family truly thank their donor and you all from the bottoms of their hearts for your continued love and support through this journey.
