Thursday Evening - Almost go-home time

It's Thursday evening and the countdown has begun.  Mom is doing fantastic.  The other drain tube has been removed and she is up and about.  Her pain is apparently under control and they are still shooting for her heading home Friday sometime.  If that's the case, tonight will be the last night in the hospital.   Mom's pal Suzanne Nellan arrived today and they spent the day chatting and laughing. 

I am still amazed.  I would have never thought that you could get a lung transplant on Friday and be going home a week later.  There is still a lot of recovery to do.  Jim and Tina Wood and Gary and Caroline Hight have been amazing during this process.  These folks are continuing to step up and offer help to Dad and Mom as she recovers.  I cannot express how personally grateful I am that these folks have been there for my parents. 

With any luck, Mom will be able to provide her own updates in a couple days!

    I am amazed at how quickyly Muffy is recovering! I also love the world wide web as you all can get quick notes of encouragement instead of waiting on snail mail. I am thrilled that she might be heading home today(Friday). Now, Max, you and Glenn will have to keep cooking...just because she is upright doesn't mean she wants to get back in that kitchen...I think she could milk this surgery for years to come and have Glenn just cook!!!!Take care! Love, Connie
