Happy July 4th

Dan is feeling pretty good this week, not very many mental blips lately which is nice. He's still pretty tired but he's able to eat well (hepatic diet-low protein; low sodium; low sugar) and we've been out almost every day this week walking either in Walmart or some other store. We've discovered Sprouts, a fabulous natural food grocery store, and have been eating lots of fresh fruit and veggies (yes, Dan is eating veggies now, though still not eating peas). We're still waiting for that phone call for transplant - Dan's even got his overnight bag packed and by the door so when we get the call, we can fly.

Happy First Birthday to Swen! We were so blessed to be there for his birth, and then to be here for his first birthday on July 1st. Amy, Adam and Swen came to visit on July 1st and we had a little party with a Winnie the Pooh theme. Dan's sister Debbie and her son Josh came over. What a fun time!

Aloha from the desert,

Debbie and Dan
