We're Breaking Out Of This Joint!!

Tomorrow, manana, less than 24 hours from now...we will be leaving the 14th floor and going home!! Can you believe it!?!?! Because I can't!!! I can't help but singing "I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again." The plan is for us to be discharged tomorrow morning. We have follow up appointments starting next week. Who would have thought that only one week after he gets out of a life changing surgery we would be on our way to start that new life. Of course, the first 3months I will turn our house into a lockdown facility and he will feel like he is confined to our 4 little walls, but hey, you win some you lose some. I think of it as a small price to pay for trying to stay healthy for the first 3 months.

We just received our medication/transplant run down and maybe it is because we were on so many medications prior to surgery or just the fact that these feel more like "Happy" meds that we didn't really get too overwhelmed. I mean "happy" in the sense that they are for such a good reason and not such a hard one like before. We have been told that a few of these medications will be decreased in dosage or discontinued all together after awhile. Jim and I have been given a transplant diploma so to speak and are ready to graduate.

Prayer requests: We get the medications correct, a healthy next 3 months with no complications, peace for the donor family, thanksgiving for so many things going well

Bible Verse: "The LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey." Deuteronomy 2:7
