HOME!

Mike got home today at 1:00. He is tired but so so happy to be out of the hospital. The doctors have him on oral antibiotics now... some real strong stuff to clear him up. They say if this does not work he may have to go back into the hospital, but they are hoping he responds well.  He will be laying low and resting over the next week or so. I am just so happy he is here.

Friday he will have outpatient surgery to have a stint in the kidney removed. He will also go on to have more labs taken to see how he is progressing. 

When he was in the hospital he heard that two other patients were in for complications not associated to their kidney transplants. With immune suppression lots can happen if you are not on top of it. Lucky we have the best doctors and Mike is well cared for. Thanks t all the nurses for caring for him this past five days. You are all wonderful.

Tomorrow Alex and I will do work, continue to clean up around here and make it better for Mike and try and fit in a little summer fun. Shorty (aka Alex) has been at doctors and hospitals and so on and this has not been the best summer so far for him. He has seen good friends but he needs some fun time with me so we will have an adventure. 

I hope we have less excitement in our lives for awhile. I need to rest as well.
