The 3rd Time's the Charm?

Dear friends and family,

We're home AGAIN!    Hopefully we'll make it at least past our 1st clinic appointment which is now reset for Friday, but hopefully a lot longer.  They have decided that Gary has C-diff so he will be on an antibiotic for 10 days -- not what we wanted, but from the way they are talking, the antibiotic should take care of it. They also told me what things we should do at home as well as things we need to watch for in him.  If the culture had not come back positive, they were thinking it might be a reaction to some of his medications.  The good thing is he's doing better and is home.  It will be nice for him to go for a walk out in the beautiful sunshine even though he'll have to always wear sunscreen and cover himself with long sleeves to be in the sun -- I'm sure it will just feel good to be outside again.  

Now it's time to fight the C-Diff, get him stronger again and continuing in the right direction, and try to get our lives back into some semblance of order, whatever that may be.  I mentioned to Gary this morning that it's May 1.  He chuckled and said what happened to April?  Little did we know HOW our lives would change when we received the telephone call we did on April 11 to make sure he was "healthy" and that there might be a kidney and pancreas available for him that night.

Thank you so much for your thoughts, prayers, cards, rides, meals, cups of coffee, listening ears, hugs, and many other kindnesses shown to us.  They truly have, and continue to be, a blessing -- "Count your many blessings, name them one by one" -- We are truly blessed with all of you and all you've done and continue to do for us.

Love,

Nelly and family

I saw this verse on facebook today -- what a great reminder for me!
