horizontal is good...

vertical is bad, very bad. anyone out there ever have a "spinal headache"? tim is suffering with all the common side effects-the stiff neck, the headache, the nausea, and the cold and clammy. he feels pretty good when he is lying down, but every time he gets up it hits him hard.

yesterday (friday) we spent all day at the hospital again having tests to prepare for the transplant. he had a cardiac work-up in nuclear medicine which he did fine, but then off to the pulmonary function testing. it was difficult to do the testing there because of his bell's palsy effecting the lip and because of the spinal headache, but they think that he did well enough to be able to proceed.

we have a weekend with no trips to hershey scheduled (unless the headache doesn't go away-then they may do a blood patch-but they want him to try and ride it out if he can). just softball practice at noon and a soccer game at 4pm and "fall" soccer try-outs at 6:30pm. pretty slow day today!!

well...it is official...tammy is OFF WORK until after July 4th holiday. it kinda feels good to not have to worry about fitting that into our already crazy schedule. and when i go back in july i will be an official "day-shifter".

thanks for all your interest in our lives and all the prayers.

tim and tammy
