LITTON/HULVEY RECOVER FROM KIDNEY TRANSPLANT.

2.2.10

WE REPORTED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THE WONDERFUL STORY OF THE APPROACHING KIDNEY TRANSPLANT SURGERY AS LIBERTY COUNTY DEPUTY SHERIFF DON NEYLAND AS HE WILL SOON GET A LIFE SAVING KIDNEY FROM A FELLOW SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE, BARBI VAVRA. THAT’S COMING SOON, BUT VERY QUIETLY THERE HAS BEEN ANOTHER STORY DEVELOPING OF THAT TYPE.– THIS TIME WITH A LOCAL FATHER AND DAUGHTER. YESTERDAY, MIRANDA LITTON HULVEY-31 OF LIBERTY DONATED ONE OF HER KIDNEY’S TO HER FATHER – DALE LITTON, OWNER AND OPERATOR OF COWBOY TOOLS, A LOCAL OILFIELD COMPANY. DALE WILL BE 60 YEARS OLD SOON, IS A DIABETIC AND RECENTLY HAS HAD SERIOUS KIDNEY ISSUES. HIS DAUGHTER, MIRANDA, IS A LEGAL SECRETARY AT BAKER AND ZBRANEK LAW FIRM. SHE AND HER HUSBAND DAVE HULVEY- ALL OF LIBERTY, HAVE TWO CHILDREN. WE ARE TOLD MIRANDA KNEW SHE WAS A MATCH FOR A TRANSPLANT FOR SOMETIME AND WAS ABSOLUTELY INSISTENT SHE WOULD DONATE A KIDNEY TO HER DAD. HOWEVER, THE DATE WAS MOVED UP RECENTLY WHEN DALES HEALTH DECLINED. LEAH HUMBER, WHO IS THE FORMER WIFE OF DALE LITTON, AND MIRANDA’S MOTHER, TOLD US FROM ST. LUKE’S HOSPITAL IN HOUSTON THERE WAS NEVER A DOUBT THAT HER DAUGHTER WAS GOING TO GIVE A KIDNEY TO DALE. LEAH SAID MIRANDA HAS BEEN SOLID AS A ROCK THROUGH THIS. DALE’S WIFE NOW IS PAM LITTON. SHE OPERATES THE A’DAIR AND CO. FLOWER AND GIFT SHOP IN LIBERTY. NOW WE HAVE LEARNED THAT MIRANDA AND DALE BOTH CAME THROUGH YESTERDAY’S SURGERY IN TEXT BOOK FASHION. LEAH SAID HER DAUGHTER WILL MOVE TO A PRIVATE ROOM TODAY AND WILL BE HOME BY WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY OF THIS WEEK. DOCTORS HAVE SAID THE KIDNEY DONOR, MIRANDA HULVEY, SHOULD BE RECOVERED IN ABOUT A MONTH.. BECAUSE OF HIS DIABETES DALE LITTON WILL TAKE LONGER BUT THE KIDNEY FROM HIS DAUGHTER, WE ARE TOLD, IS WORKING PERFECTLY. HE IS EXPECTED TO MAKE A FULL RECOVERY. WE LEARNED DALE LITTON WILL PROBABLY BE HOSPITALIZED FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND THEN SOME RECOUP TIME AT HOME FOR A WHILE. SUFFICE IT TO SAY - IT’S AN AMAZING GIFT.
