It finally happened...Dan was discharged from the hospital today, November 4. It was a very long day of meetings with everyone - doctors, PT, OT, endocrinologist, post-transplant coordinator (3-hrs and more to come on Thursday), then the nurse has to review a 20+page discharge paper and we sign when she's done and most of this was repeat from the previous meetings. The icing on the cake was getting to hear a noon-time concert by Vicki and her combo - she's a professional jazz singer and fellow pastor's wife and she has visited Dan faithfully several times a week to fellowship and sing wonderful jazz numbers with Dan "be-bopping" along with her. Dan is pretty tired but glad to be out of the hospital. He had some strong mixed feelings leaving the hospital, both happy and sad and emotional, as the Mayo staff on 3West and 3East have become family. And just getting around the house with his walker and in and out of chairs takes a lot of energy, more than we realized, so recovery will continue. Dan is also anxious to post a new blog entry to his 'Lines from Daniel's Den', so keep watch!
Soaring again,
Debbie and Dan

On a sad day for our country, this is a great day for our Ohana.
Praise the Lord that this day of release from Mayo has come. May the days following continue to add strength to your body Dan. I look forward to reading your great insights in your journal.
We now need to pray even more for our country and pray that our country will not go further away from the Lord.
Aloha,
Ken
