As you no nothing was posted yesterday as I was on the road coming home for a banquet with Blair. I told Steve he needs to learn to post so when I am not able to he can. You know what he said. As I always say there is a good woman behind every man. Right ladies?

His creatinine and white count have gotten low enough that he was able to start on pill form of anit-rejection today. He went over his medications that he will be coming home on and will take for the next month. Wow! I we might have to get a pharmacy degree. He is really working on them hard to let him out by the weekend. He still has a lot of fluid on his ankles but they assure him it will take time and not to worry about it. The fluid will come off as his kidney is still not working at a 100%. Give it time they say, hurry up and wait. He is tired of those phrases.

He had a little excitment today. KU hospital was in tornado warnings for a while today and they told him he needed to go sit in the hall way. He went back and forth from his room today watching the weather and looking out of his window. Emily talked with him once today and he said they had to tell him more than once to get away from the window and shut the blinds. He has the binoculars there with him and can see quite far, as far as Royals Stadium/Arrowhead so I am sure he was weather watching when he got in trouble. I can't leave him for 1 day!

We would like to thank everyone for all the cookies, this was better than flowers any day. It has felt good to me just to sleep in my own bed. I can't wait for Steve to be able to do this. Tomorrow night will be 14 days he has been there and you can image how bad he is wanting to come home. I was home catching up on some things and had to rsvp a wedding we are planning on attending this summer. When they asked how many guest in your family I wanted to say 5, Blair, Blair's boyfriend Christy, Steve and Steve's new kidney. It is kind of like having new first. First time coming home with his kidney, first car ride, first shower (transplant patients are not allowed to shower while in the hospital), first party, etc.... It is a little scary too when you think about the things he will be doing.

We are so very greatful for this miracle, just can't believe it is finally happened.

Prayers to all Steve and Christy

We would like to thank everyone who sent chocolate chip cookies. We are still trying to judge the best cookie. This beats flowers any day.
