Day +66 Life is Good

It's Saturday and as usual all is quiet. We both had a good day Thursday. Peter & Fred had a great "playdate". The play I saw was excellent - 2 person cast "Love Letters". I got a chance to catch up with my stitching buddies and I think I am up to date on what is happening with everyone. We went out to dinner with Cindi and Fred Thursday night before we came back here to Durham.

No change in status at the clinic - all counts remain good. The thymus transplant is set for Wed. afternoon. They are going to do it at Duke Hospital rather than at the ambulatory surgery dept. at the clinic. It should be a fairly simple procedure so we are not anticipating any problems.

The drs. at the clinic said we could go back to Wilmington for an overnight visit, so we plan to leave late today and come back here late Monday. It will be nice to sleep in our own beds for a night or two, and to do laundry without needing a pocketfull of quarters! We've probably got a full car load to take home already - it's amazing how quickly you can acquire things.

We've started asking the staff when they think we might be done at the clinic and they are very hesitant to start talking about it yet. After the thymus procedure we will start pressing a bit more. We are both hopeful that it is sooner rather than later.

We met Roy & Arlene for lunch and had a great time. Heather should be out in a short while for a visit. We are so lucky that our family and friends keep in touch with us so that we are not alone for long.

Have a great weekend!

Wendy
