Author Todd Michael Gent's book "The Day Ain't Over Yet: A CF Dad's Journal" is a candid memoir of his son's journey before, during, and after his double lung transplant
Recent release "The Day Ain't Over Yet: A CF Dad's Journal" from Page Publishing author Todd Michael Gent is both a loving homage to his son's courage in the face of cystic fibrosis and a daily diary sharing the ups and downs of the lifesaving surgery that afforded his family sixteen more years together.
KAUFMAN, Texas, Jan. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Todd Michael Gent, an x-ray technician, health enthusiast, and professional football, basketball, and track coach now retired after a thirty-eight-year career and living with his wife, Tricia, in Kaufman, Texas, has completed his new book "The Day Ain't Over Yet: A CF Dad's Journal": a poignant testament to a father's love and the unfailing courage of a little boy facing daunting medical challenges.
In February 1992 Todd and Coby Gent went to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, so Coby could be evaluated for, and hopefully have, a double-lung transplant. Transplants were a new way to prolong the lives of cystic fibrosis patients, and this major surgery was Coby's only hope for living beyond his twelve years.
Todd, Coby's dad, kept a journal from day one of the Gent family's journey from borrowed lungs to new life. The journals include other patients from all over the country awaiting transplants. Coby, at twelve, was the youngest among others in their twenties, thirties, and forties. Tricia and Casey, Todd's wife and daughter, respectively, remained in their hometown of Wylie, Texas, and traveled back and forth to North Carolina during the transplant process.
Todd Gent had not read these journals since he wrote them in 1992, but his daughter brought them out in order to publish them by the thirtieth anniversary of Coby's double-lung transplant. The journals prove that Coby made it count.
Published by Page Publishing, Todd Michael Gent's engrossing book is an invaluable resource for patients, parents, and other caregivers facing the prospect of lung transplantation.
Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase "The Day Ain't Over Yet: A CF Dad's Journal" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
