As you probably figured out we are home. Steve was able to be dismissed from the hospital on Sunday. It was a long ride home but we made it. Tiffany and I took Blair to the oral surgeon Monday morning and she had all 4 wisdom teeth cut out. No picnic, she looks like a chip monk with purple cheeks. All 4 were impacted so it is just as well they all came out. She is doing ok. Pain killer and ice are her favorites right now. Jayce came to see us Monday afternoon when she got out of the hospital with her broken arm. She has a beautiful hot pink cast. She has calmed down quite a bit. The real story came out. Trey and Jayce took the mattress off Trey's bed and put it on the floor. Trey convinced Jayce to climb to the top of his dresser and jump off. When he found out that her arm was broke he thought he had killed her. Jennifer reassured him that she was going to be ok. Tom thought our house was like a nursing home, too many sick, injured people that needed attention.

We did get some unsettling news today. Steve's doctor called and said the test came back. They found cancer in this kidney also. The urologist that did the surgery talked to the Nephrologist that we will be working with and have talked with several times. They both agreed they think he can still go forward with the transplant. They did say that they are not the only ones that is making these decisions but they felt like we could proceed. The cyst that they have been watching was not cancer. It was on the back side where it didn't show up. Sounds like before, your kidney is in cased in fat and the cancer was still inside the fat on the kidney. So, not sure what the next step will be but we have a follow up in month with the urologist. Hopefully his sisters can go ahead with their testing for matches.

Please keep Steve in your prayers.
