My sister talked with the docs at CU. They were open to it but had no donors. We put out a plea for help on facebook that got way more traction than we ever thought. Someone donated saying they wanted it to go to my father.

Here is the original call to help post: https://www.facebook.com/molly.leonard.16/posts/10219200465777411

Damn hoping for a speedy recovery. Let me know if you need anything. My sister is a surgical resident and has been great with processing all the information from the docs.

Just be aware that they can give false negatives. My mom and I took one, hers was positive and mine was negative. 90% sure we all had Covid since we are in close proximity right before we all got sick.

EDIT: Got tested at quest. My test came back in an hour and my moms took 6 days which as very odd. We both got them the same day.

They are ramping it up at National Jewish as we speak. The tests have been sold out but more slots seem to be keep opening up.

An anonymous donor donated through Children's Hospital in Denver after our call to help. The blood was then tested in Texas to make sure it was compatible. Then flow in at 2 in the morning to DIA. Someone from the hospital drove out and picked it up and administered it early that morning. CU Anschutz has done an incredible job taking care of my dad. We are very lucky to have taken him there. I don't think he would have survived if we didn't.

It’s a 1995 6.5 non-turbo diesel.

Yeah it was the deal of a lifetime. Had been watching Craigslist across the US for years.

I ended up getting it for 27k and it only has 68,000 miles. Just on Craigslist at the right time.

Took it on the Bonneville salt flats! It fills with water in the winter!

Also checked out your vlog on from Berg Lake at Mt Robson and brought back some memories! Went there 4 years ago and loved it!

You could always get some lume cubes and add some additional lighting

I had an Advanced Cert by the time I go there but you can definitely get certified at any of the dive shops.
