another boring blog...

and we are thankful for that...bloodwork is gradually improving and everyone is thrilled that the liver decided to calm down. kidney function is back to normal.

another day to the hospital and another long nap afterwards.

we did walk in from the parking lot today and that is quite a walk...and this afternoon we went for another short walk outside. then another nap. but, i think each day i see little improvements and we don't want to rush things (well, we want to, but we can't).

the drug levels are staying the same for now-eventually they will reduce the amount of steroids, but for now things are going to stay the way they are.

many of you are wondering about my (tammy) work status...i have been off on FMLA (family medical leave of absence) off and on since the start of the year. the last two months i took off entirely to be with tim and now my FMLA has run out. the hospital has a program where you can have co-workers donate PTO (paid time off) time to you and i have been blessed. i am going to try to get another short extension and a few more donations and then after that i will have to go back to work-still part time-day shift during the week and night shift on the weekends. that will be an adjustment...but i think i will be ready to go back. we are so thankful for how understanding both of our workplaces have been during this very difficult time in our lives.

well, time to wake tim up for his night-time medications. hope all is well out there.

thanks for checking in.

tim and tammy

ps
you know when you have kids and they tell you that you had better lay down and sleep when they sleep-the same should apply to post-transplant husbands. it is going on 2am and he is up and awake and hungry. it would have been better if i had gone to bed before 1am tonight.
(short night tonight)
