Walking is really important for recovery and Mike was a real trooper and through the pain he made himself walk. He was so good that tonight they felt he was ready to leave ICU and move to a room upstairs near Amy. I am really proud of him but his urge to work for this is no surprise. He is not the type of person to hold back when a challenge presents itself. His nurses where happy to care for him because they saw that he was really trying to work with them and do his best to get well again.
He is strong! I am happy that he is in a normal room and I will rest better now knowing he is able to walk and that all is progressing so well.
Amy is resting and Kevin is keeping a loving eye out for her. I asked him to check in on Mike tonight for me. Thanks Kevin for your help.
Also, Thank you Julie, Tom and Katherine for taking care of Alex to day and coming to the hospital. It was also great to see Jim Lorigan our dear friend. Thanks for your visit...it really lifted our spirits. Thank you Lloyd and Robin for the flowers for Amy and the balloons for Mike. We love you all!

Whew! I'm happy to see we've gotten through this so well. Congrats from Beirut. Shelley
It is SO exciting to see that everyone is doing well. Amy/Mike's kidney is, indeed, very beautiful!
I'm glad all is coming along nicely for both Mike and Amy. Hang in there! Soon, you will be home again and in more comfortable surroundings.
Congratulations to everyone!
So, I woke up this morning and all I could thing about is that kidney. The size of it is astounding! and I can't get it out of my mind. I now fear each time I look at Mike all I will visulize is that kidney - that huge kidney!!!!!!!!!!
