Iowa City visit.

Hi- We had another long day in Iowa City today, Unfortunately we just did not find out much, they are just watching and waiting right now. They are going to go ahead with more testing on the boys this week, the original testing they had was just to see if they match which they did, but now they will have to do a lot more testing to see how close they match and also who will be the closest match to me. They start out with more blood tests and then will follow up with physicals etc. They did a lot of blood work on me today and are planning a lot more tests liver, lungs, heart, just precautionary stuff plus they need base lines for after my transplant. Its so they have a way of judging if any damage is done after the transplant. I still feel real positive about the outcome and am looking forward to getting started. They can't plan on a date until after all the results of the current tests are in. Dr. Silverman is my transplant Dr. a very nice little lady from Portugal her best guess is sometime between 4-8 weeks from now, she seems confident I'll be okay. We went for a walk around the little pond by our house when we got home tonight it felt good to get outside and I need to get more exercise I am an official lump, gotten pretty lazy lately. Penny and Elisabeth are keeping really busy taking care of everything I again feel very blessed to have them.
