Monday (Day 20 with a new heart)

Overall, a good weekend.  Plenty of laps around the unit and plenty of chair sitting time as well.

This morning, she got to go down to the sixth floor and do some leg exercises in the physical therapy gym.  Somewhere, we heard the two guys from the old Saturday Night Life skit saying, "We are here to pump.....you up!  She did some leg presses and leg curls.  Shoot, the football players ain't got nothing on her!
Also, she got to go outside and get some (Gator) air and made a visit to the gift shop too!

For the first time today, we actually heard the "H" word (H being home).  She has to have another biopsy, probably sometime the first part of next week and she is finishing up one of the meds (anti-rejection) today and has to finish another one on the 17th.  She has to be hospitalized for these.

There is a slim chance that they may discharge her from the hospital late next week. Maybe.  Of course, we would need to stay in Gainesville for a few weeks.  For the first month or so, she will be scheduled for clinic vists and tests once a week.  Plus, we want to be close by just in case.

Please continue to pray for Noah and Ella as they wait on their hearts and for Rachel's friend, Emily, who got a good biopsy report too.

Thanks for your continued prayers.
