Though one might never know from the pace Bernie has kept serving as a force for change and progress across the state and in the Democratic Party, for several years he has been fighting the various stages kidney failure- brought on by a hereditary disease.
On Tuesday morning, Bernie called me from the Sun Port to say that he was on his way to the Loma Linda Medical Center in California to receive his long awaited kidney transplant. For Bernie, John, the babies and all of Bernie's family and many many many friends, this is a day that we have prayed would come and we are excited for the return of a healthy Bernie.
However, the transplant process is not an easy one and Bernie will be at the Loma Linda Medical Center for several weeks after the procedure. Thoughts and prayers for Bernie's speedy recovery and return home are welcomed. And if you would like to send an email to Bernie, you can do so through the hospital's website here.
