Friday - February 29

This has been a good week for Karen. She has been feeling much better this week than last week. She is still going to Baptist Hospital twice per week for checkups. They continue to work on getting her blood pressure down as well as tweaking her medications to get her lab results where they want them. She still doesn't have a lot of energy, but this is also improving. Creatinine level (kidney funtion) continues to be good!


The lastest we have been told is that she will have to stay out of the public for two months from the date of her transplant (Feb 6). That includes malls, church, restaurants, etc. We have also been told that it will be about that long before she really starts feeling normal again. So far she hasn't complained about "cabin fever" but I expect that to get worse as she begins to feel better!

Again, thanks to all of you for the prayers, meals, cards (everyday she gets another stack of cards in the mail), assistance with transportation, phone calls, etc. They mean so much to us!

We have no idea who "Mimi" is (last posting). We assume this was posted to the wrong website!

Hi Karen, Glad to hear that you continue to improve day to day. Looking forward to hearing that you are feeling 100% again.
