one week later...

We're hoping Jack is home by Mother's Day - the perfect gift! His ticket home is reaching a high enough level of the anti-rejection drug in his blood.  It is constantly a moving target and will be closely monitored (3 x's a week) after discharge.  He is doing really well. His smile somehow grows bigger each day while his belly slowly gets smaller. I am moving around much better and anxious for the pockets of air in my belly and under my diaphragm to dissolve. This has been an unexpected discomfort far beyond the surgical pains.  Sam is excellent and has adapted incredibly well to the frequent hospital visits,  house guests, and going to sleep without his buddy. Grandma Sue-Sue (aka - wonder woman) is wearing many different hats around here and her stamina is unbelievable.  Both 'Pops' have returned back home and most surely are exhausted. Harry has his feet up at home tonight while Uncle Jeff is with Jack.  Lucky are we. 

Keeping morale high with some entertainment.

A very liberating wagon ride around the 5th floor.

Cheers!  Why not?!
