Saturday, Oct 8

As of today I have been reinstated on the lung transplant list.  The pre-lung transplant nurse, Kim, says I am ‘right up there’ on the list and ‘in a good spot’, whatever that means….  She says they have been busy the past 3 weeks but didn’t indicate how many transplants have been done. 

I will need to follow up with several doctor appointments regarding the low count bacteria that is still indicated by the tests.  Also need to have a urine test every Monday until this issue is resolved.  Whatever it takes….. 

Nephew Rick and wife Katie came to visit yesterday and it was great to see them.  Katie’s sister and family live fairly close and they are visiting them this week-end.  Found out Katie’s brother-in-law works right across the road from the Maltby Café!!! 

Mary Jo and Jerry will be here tomorrow for a few days.  It will be great to see them too and spend some time together.  They are bringing their motor home and will stay in the park here.  While they are here, we will go with them to visit our friend John from Alaska, who just had a kidney transplant

Our granddaughter Cassie auditioned for Honor Choir and was accepted so that was exciting news!  We are very proud grandparents….  

Tomorrow is the monthly pancake breakfast in the park.  Of course Bob will be helping with that and he does enjoy himself.  The staff appreciate him too.

Thanks to everyone for your love and support during this ‘interesting’ segment of our lives.  Family and friends are what keeps us going and we couldn’t get through it without you all.

It is good to hear you are back on the list. You picked the right week to come home, it started raining Saturday and rained all week (Seattle rain). Wensday there was snow on the mountain and by Thursday it was just above Stacklin Rd. Yesterday it was 64 degrees and the snow has melted.
We will continue to pray for your situation.

Glad to hear you are back on the list, and that you got to go to Cove last weekend. You know we think it is a beautiful place. We think about you all the time and are wishing you the best.
We have been busy with kids and grandkids on Vashon. Had beautiful weather yesterday after a week of rain.
