Mike is very susceptible to germs and infection right now so when we leave the house he has to wear this mask. He hates it. But I think it looks better when he wears his sunglasses with it. Very cool!
We met another kidney transplant patient today at the hospital. He received his wife's kidney in February. He was on Dialysis for two years. His wife was pregnant with their 4th child when he was diagnosed with kidney failure. They waited until the baby was born and she was done nursing and than she donated her kidney to him. He said in four weeks they felt great and in six weeks they were both healed and living life to the fullest again.
It is amazing what can be done to save lives. The man we met was so happy and he told Mike that he would be feeling like a million bucks real soon. He also told me to tell Amy that she needs to take it slow. He watched his wife recover and he said it will be better soon, but take the pain relievers and take it slow. His wife did not take her medication for pain and with 4 kids you can imagine how she would start back to taking care of things at home. Amy will rest and Kevin, Tracey, Alyssa, Dennis and I will see to her that she gets better soon but without rushing herself.
