9.30.11

Well it's Friday already!  In some ways this week have been one of the longest ever, but in many ways it has been a very short week. 

Jim and Stephanie are both scheduled to be discharged tomorrow from the hospital.  We are very thankful and looking forward to having each of them out and recovering outside the hospital.  Jim is ready to be home so he can sleep.  Hospitals are not for people that want to get some rest.  Rest, is something he really needs right now, so if all goes well, he'll be in his own bed tomorrow night, Lord willing.  Yesterday was a more fatigue day for Stephanie (our angel) and today was like that for Jim.  They will each have "those days".

We are so thankful for all our church families and friends and family members that are bringing meals to Stephanie and her family as well as those that will be making meals for our family in the coming weeks. As a transplant recipient there is a great deal of scheduled times to take their medication.  So the first several weeks we will be getting used to "our new normal", which just takes time!  The blessing is that we have been compliant pre-transplant with what Jim needed to do, so post-transplant we will do the same.  Just a bit new right now, especially for Jim. Things are being made easier because of all our meals for the next several weeks being prepared for us and having the visiting nurse for several visits and follow up appointments.  I am also overwhelmed by the offers to "help in anyway", etc.  I'm/we are more used to being the people that "make the offers" rather than accepting the offers.  I am thankful that I have the opportunity to take many of you up on all your generous help.  GISG.

So, if all goes as planned, and we don't see this being an issue, we will all be in our "homes" tomorrow evening. I will continue to post updates from time to time.

Again, thank you for the prayers and support!  It means more than words can express.

So Blessed,
Tina
