Sunday, Sunday........

After a nights sleep at home, mom was a bit refreshed this morning. Alison had a pretty sleepless night with two hour blood pressure checks and emptying of fluid bag. She was able to walk two circles around the unit and then sat up in the chair a bit. Mom went to visit John (Alison's donor) today. He looked fantastic-hopefully, the major challenges are behind him and he is now on the real road to recovery. His mom and dad then came up to visit with Alison-it really feels as if we have known all of them forever-we can't wait to meet John's sister and for them to meet Alison's brother and sister. That time will come when we are able to get both John and Alison home and healthy. Wow, Alison and healthy all in one sentence-that's amazing and so hopeful. We are eager to see Dr. Emre, as he is back tomorrow. We are very interested to hear his read on this fluid situation with Alison-we know that he has been consulted all weekend but to talk with him directly is always so much more comfortable for us. Well, we are off for another walk around the unit-have a nice night everyone.

  1. Alison, I had such a good time getting to know you alittle more today. I certainly know I want to know more about you. You shine and have a way with telling family stories. Can't wait till you meet Kirstin and for both families to get together and have our own unique family Thanksgiving soon. Love, Doreen
