Monday (Day 27 with a new heart)

Okay, here is what we found out this morning during rounds.  She is scheduled for her second biopsy tomorrow.  Depending on the results, the transplant coordinator has said that she will try everything in her power to discharge us on Wednesday!!  Mom and Dad will have a "discharge class" tomorrow afternoon to teach us how to administer all her meds and her feeds in the GJ tube and all of the other things that we will have to learn.
The transplant coordinator also said that once she is discharged and back at the apartment, she can go to some of the museums in town, to the mall and to the movies and that she will not be strictly confined to the apartment.  Her eyes lit up when the transplant coordinator mentioned the word "discharged" and when she told us that Rachel would also need to "nap" once or twice during the day, Rachel looked at us, smiled and said, "Did you hear that?"  (She is learning to like her naps!).
Now, we are beginning to get excited about the possibility of FINALLY getting out of here.

and wouldn't "discharge class" make a great name for a rock band?
