Pneumonia
Yes...Dan has pneumonia, but he is doing well.
We had one of those wonderful marital moments as we are waiting in the doctor's exam room on Tuesday afternoon. "How did you get pneumonia? You rarely leave the house," I practically hissed at him....at the sick guy who is tired of being sick. (O. K. I'm not up for wife of the year.) Well he is very immuno suppressed and that little bacteria just took hold and his body couldn't fight it off.
The good news is that Dan feels good (he doesn't look sick) and he is at home (we were afraid he would be put in the hospital somewhere.) Dr. Hranac and the UNMC transplant team agree on the antibiotic being used to fight this off and that is not an easy task since he has already taken so many antibiotics.
Ed's advice that recovery is like dancing....two steps forward and one step back is practically a mantra to me....and I will work on being a more understanding wife.

Sandy, oh that we could all be so patient and tolerant of a situation totally beyond our control is a goal we would all fail to measure up to. Your demonstrated strenth in the face of adversity gives us all something to shoot for when we face out little daily challenges.
love to you both,
jim
Sandy and Dan: The battle goes on, you two can be in my army anytime. Sandy, don't sell yourself short, I think that you're a very understanding wife. It's easy to get frustrated when you have so little contol over something/someone that is so near and dear to you. Keep the faith, you have a lot of folks keeping the two of you in our thoughts and prayers. Ed Greivel
So.......if it isn't one thing it's another. Hope that the situation is looking up since Thursday (today is Sunday). I wasn't at my computer for a few days. It is nice to know that the whole situation is over with before I ever know there was a problem. Very profound words of wisdom from Jim and Ed. I can't top them. We can never have too many people love us and the two of you have a wealth of friends...and
with good reason.
Love, Lora Rae
