Well, I thought it was time that yall heard from me. Yep It's Brian. I promise that I see, read, or hear your notes, cards, letters, blogs,thoughts, prayers, visits. I am ever so grateful. Especially to the donor and the family of the donor for my second chance on life. Many people all around this country,my dear friends in Europe and Mexico, God Bless You all. I have learned that this is a slow recovery process with ups and downs, but want you to know that when I feel good, I feel very much like the old Brian. My hope now is that I will be home before Christmas, I miss all of you. I have the best doctors in the world, and I am in the best hospital in the world. I could not ask for more. So MANY PEOPLE have helped me and my family. I hope that I can that I can repay you all in some way. My work family and friends at Gypsum Management and Supply (TEJAS MATERIALS)I thank all of you and promise to return.Thanks Hughey for refusing to let me give up,you have been my backbone for two years. My dear wife has been the real muscle over the last several months. All three of my sisters have been here to help Kim, my girls and son in laws, All of my family has been available to help in many ways. My dear son chad has been by my side in spirit as he always will be. Nothing can occur without the grace of GOD. I am now about to go have another heart cath done. Thank All Of You. Brian Gilliam
I've been following your case, Brian, because I know Lindsey and Johny Garner in Califonia. There's a group of us following your recovery and praying for you. I understand the biopsies, meds and other treatments can be demanding. I have four special friends who received transplants including a heart transplant. My wife and I cared for a girl who donated the organs for the transplants five years ago. The recipients are all doing well, though some have had rough episodes. After you've recovered, I hope you and your family can get to know your donor family because it can be a such a rich experience. Feel free to write if you have questions.

Yay Brian! So good to hear from you! We are praying for you and not a day goes by that you are not in our thoughts. I am so filled with happiness on the inside that you have your new heart. I know that it will only be a matter of time before we will be seeing your smiling face back at Tejas Materials. Keep up the good work. See you soon. All our Love and Prayers, Jurischk Brothers Gang!!!
