First I want to say;

To everyone who has been commenting on the blog or emailing us for the past few months. You cannot imagine how much I look forward to reading these messages each day.Thank you also,for all the cards and prayers—Stan and I greatly appreciate them.
Today we had a leisurely day at the apartment. Stan spends a good part of these days nappimg, which helps his to build up his strength for the days we go to the ATC. He is also learning how to do some of the care of his CVC. Next Friday,I am going to Niagara Falls to see Noelle in her play and then I am going to visit Josh for a night and then fly back to Houston. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law are going to come and stat with Stan (they are angels!!!!!)By that time,Stan should not need the round the clock IV meds—only once per day.
We also got Stan some special socks to help keep down the swelling in his ankles and feet. We just got back from a walk around the apartment complex (where we met several other couples who also have had transplants and were getting their exercise in for the day) The temperatures are still in the 90’s during the days here, but go down to the 60’s at night—so walking now was quite pleasant. We are keeping our fingers crossed so Stan will keep on this positive track and we will be able to get home on schedule!!!
