Treatments, Treatments
Dan is out of the hospital, but there are still tests and treatments to be done. If fact there is something every day...yesterday we were at the hospital from 10:00am until 4:00pm and today we were there from 7:00am until 3:00pm. Tomorrow is a long day again, but Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are short days (so far) and on Monday we meet with the transplant team to see if we can return to Kearney on Tuesday. (We hardly dare to hope it....we've been here since August 17th.)
There was reason to wonder if Dan had a blood clot in his leg (he doesn't) and he has quite a bit of drainage from the incision and his feet are really swollen...but other than that...
Joe and Virginia Meuret visited yesterday which was nice and Steve England stopped by and picked up some things to haul back to Kearney for us. It is so nice to see people from home. We saw Ben Homan in the blood cleansing clinic on Tuesday. He looks good.
Sara has been a trouper. It is kind of like "Driving Miss Daisy" squared. She drives us to wherever we are going. Then when we are parked she sprints around and helps Dan with the walker as she is carrying things in for us. Sadie loves taking long walks with her. I can drive now, but if I'm high on pain pills we have her drive. She's working on a commisioned print ad when she's not helping us. I've learned more about the wedding from her than I have from Chris so that is a nice benefit.
Thank you for your good thoughts.

Hi Dan and Sandy....
You sure can't say life is like Groundhog day for you. I suppose you would settle for that soon, however. Glad to hear you are still progressing and keeping well. I hope they give you a place to rest while you are doing all the tests? That would be a long day for anyone.
Carry on........Don and Lora Rae
Welcome back to the Apt.
I wish I was there when Sadie greeted you. She was always so sad when it was just me walking through the door.
I'm glad to hear your new driver/Nurse, Sara, is working out !
Hang in there you are almost out of Omaha.

Sandy- Cant wait to hear what wedding info you have learned. I can't believe how soon that is going to be here. Dan- Ryan misses you tons (you too Sandy) He can't wait to have you both home.
