The 1040 Window

I got to the Tiverton (hotel right next to the hospital) Thursday evening; oh what a joy it is to be with my wife and kids again!!!  I got to surprise my kids, though Michaela said she suspected I was getting out of the hospital.  I can not even begin to express how great it is to be with them again.  My heart has been exploding with joy!
Unfortunately, I woke up yesterday with a mild fever.  Fevers are a very quick ticket right back into the hospital.  Thankfully, though, it was mild enough that the doctor was not too worried, so he instructed me to just keep an eye on it.  We were very happy for this, because the last thing we want to do is bounce in and out of the hospital.  Thankfully, I have not had a fever today!  But I have also had a few small blisters form around my waist that could be another ticket back into the hospital.  Sheesh!  We just need to remember that these “minor complications” are completely expected.  In fact, most of the literature describing what to expect after a transplant says to plan on going back into the hospital at least once.  That does not mean we have to, though!

I am not sure what the plan is from this point because the “plan” can vary so much and I am little clueless anyway.  We will have to stay down here, right next to the hospital for at least a few weeks because I am still under such intensive care and my health status can change in a flash for many, many reasons.  So the next several weeks just have to be taken day by day, week by week, but every day that passes is another day conquered and, right now, I definitely feel a wee bit stronger each day!

Praise His name and may He bless you all ever so richly in His marvelous grace!
