  • Organ Donation: “The Gift of Life”
    CPO FAMILY Spring 2019 A Publication of The CPO Foundation Vol. 29 No. 1 Organ Donation: “The Gift of Life” “Taking Care of Our Own” when it’s In December 2008 my life, and my family’s life, changed forever. “Up Close and Personal” I remember being in Lowes, shopping for supplies for our upcoming [Kentucky DOC] Probation & Parole audit, when I received a call by Kim Potter-Blair from my husband, Myron. He was upset. He told me that he had just found out that he has a kidney disease and will need a biopsy to determine the specifics of the disease. I couldn’t believe what he was telling me. At that time, our son, Chase, was five and our son, Aven, was one. There is no way, I thought to myself. Myron is too young. We have young children. It was like seeing your life flash before your eyes. I am often asked what led to this. What symptoms did Myron have? Myron was a regular blood donor. I remember him being so happy when he reached the one-gallon blood donation mark. Myron’s blood type is O positive, and he received calls for blood donations on a regular basis. However, the last time he went to donate, he couldn’t give. Why? Before giving blood, the medical staff conducts a “mini” physical exam. During this, it was discovered that Myron’s blood pressure was high. Myron then went to his family doctor who confirmed that continued on page 4 indeed Myron had high blood pressure and put him on medication.
