David Bird urgently needed a liver transplant until there came a miracle on East 34th St. where he lay in the NYU Transplant Center in New York City on December 19, 2004. The liver that arrived just in time was a perfect fit and took immediately. No complaints. He's doing fine and is on the long road to recovery. Please check this blog for updates on his condition or to leave your own comments. See the full story at www.SaveDavid.org

We're overjoyed to find that David is in recovery. With all our prayers and intentions he should have a very short and successful recovery. Nancy please tell him to get well quick; the Red Sox are going to need their number one fan this Summer!
All our love,

Nancy: "Everlasting arms of Love
Are beneath, around, above;
God it is who bears us on,
His the arm we lean upon.
He our ever-present guide
Faithful is whate'er betide;
Gladly then we journey on,
With His arm to lean upon.
From earth's fears and vain alarms
Safe in His encircling arms
He will keep us all the way,
GOd, our refuge, stregth and stay." John Macduff
Thinking of you and David. A

Praise the Lord!!! Pray that Jesus would say a word from heaven sothat David would get healing that the same way a Centurion's servant was healed in bible. Keep your faith strong.

Glad to hear the great news! Our prayers are with you for a speedy and healthy recovery.

When I heard the good news from my DJ colleagues yesterday, I was overcome with tears of joy. When I read the story behind the story on your blog, I got goose bumps. Your story is truly an amazing Christmas tale. When you wrote me in November that you were determined to "beat this", your analytical reporting was as usual accurate and inspirational. Our thoughts over Christmas are with you for a speedy and full recovery.
Best, Mike and Marina
David,
Know that your friends from the past (Trenton Times) are pulling for your future! You and your family are in my constant thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Anita
