Far sooner than I thought!

As Sarah has reported, we all get to come home together on Thursday! Having resigned myself to staying in Madison for at least a month, this came as amazing news.

My labs look good, I have recovered from this transplant far more quickly than the last and I think my surgeon has more confidence in the doctors in Seattle now that he has had several patients from the area. When I had my first transplant, no kidney-panceas transplants had been done in Seattle and only 4 in Portland. It is now a far more common procedure and they do them routinely at Swedish.

So I get to travel home with Katie and Sarah and recuperate in my own bed.

I will be discharged on Tuesday, check my labs on Wednesday and fly home on Thursday. Amazing!

See you all sooner than I thought.

Hey Katie! I'm so glad to hear that things went well, that you and your mom have been recovering well and that you're coming home. We're all thinking about you here at JSIS and look forward to having you come back. We are so lucky to have a person as incredible as you at our school. Get well soon.
