Serving as a volunteer firefighter for nearly four decades, Mark Courville has helped save countless lives. His has already been saved once but now, he is waiting for that to happen again.
The 52-year-old Jennings man is currently on a heart transplant list at Houston Methodist. In a way, though, he is OK with waiting.
“There are people so much sicker than me who are on ventilators in the hospital, waiting for a heart,” he said. “I have bad days but I am still able to work and live a pretty normal life.”
