Our wireless internet connection has been down for a few days, that's why I haven't blogged in a while, but we're up and running again now. Funny, how did we live all those years without a computer and the internet? We are so grateful for these luxuries that enable us to stay connected with our ohana in Hawaii and all over the world.
Great news...looks like Dan will be discharged from the hospital next Tuesday! He will then have outpatient rehab every Tuesday and Thursday, along with regular labs and doctor appointments. We haven't been told when Dan can finally return home to Hawaii, we'll let you know as soon as we know. His outpatient rehabs are scheduled through the 2nd week of December, so maybe by January we'll be home!
Dan is getting stronger and feeling better each day. Rehab keeps him busy almost all day until about 3pm, then he and I go for our "walk" to the healing garden or wherever. One day we sat on the bench outside the hospital door and played a game of guessing the make and model of each car driving by just by looking at the front of each car. Dan loves cars and before transplant would watch Motorweek on tv, read "Car & Driver" magazine, anything to learn more about vehicles, so this game was good for him and fun also. Mentally, Dan is also improving. He has a ways to go, but he is doing so much better, this was probably the hardest thing for me to handle, and I praise God for the healing, slow but steady. By the way, his color is all better (no more "golden boy"), he wants to keep clean shaven so no more beard and mustache - it might take you some time to get used to this new look, but I think he's quite handsome! And he's decided that drinking V-8 juice is better than eating those vegetables! But I have pictures of him eating peas, etc. - I can probably use this to my advantage sometime (wink wink).
Soaring like an eagle,
Debbie and Dan
