Day 55 Back in Houston feeling refreshed, recharged and ready to tackle our remaining days in out-patient limbo.
What a treat it was to get to go home for two whole days. When we left, the yard was still cold and bare, and we returned to green grass, blooming dogwoods and brilliant azaleas. Home never felt so good (even if I did have to sleep in the camper in the driveway for isolation purposes). We had a chance to catch up with the our childrens' lives and see for ourselves that they are doing well. (Thank you, Grandma and Granpa!) The only thing that could have topped all this was if we had been given enough notice to fly my mother in for the reunion....she was missed. We hope to get her down to Houston very soon. Traveling with the Home Infusion Bottles is no problem. We just put them in a soft cooler with and ice pac. They stayed nice and cool for the four hour drive each way. On Saturday, we just hung around enjoying being home and together as a family. On Sunday, while my family went to Church (way too crowded for me to take the risk), I went for a long drive out on the rolling prairies north of Colleyville with a fellow shutterbug and good friend. The more I explore Texas, the more I am taken aback by her subtle beauty. Texas is far from being the tumbleweed dustbowl that many Easterners (including myself at one time) often think it is. It has a unique and rustic beauty all its own. I love it here. The ride home was uneventful. We were sad to leave, but re-committed to getting through the second half of the process with a minimum of stress. The visit home had such a healing effect on our homesick hearts. It was a great gift from my Transplant Team to give us permission to go! Today (Monday) I go into the clinic later afternoon for bloodwork, IV fluids and a meeting with the team. Hoping the this first blood test since returning comes out as good as the one before I left! Regards and Prayers Dane ------------------------ Yahoo!
