Sunday (Day 26 with a new heart)

A good weekend.  Yesterday, Rachel walked around the unit four times and sat-up in the chair off and on for several hours at a time.  Her and Daddy watched college football all day long (Daddy had to suffer through watching football, instead, he wanted to watch the Disney channel but Rachel wouldn't let him).  Rachel enjoyed spending most of the day on the computer chatting with her grandma (Keith's monster-in-law) and working on writing a story; Stephen King better watch out.
Today, so far, she has walked around four times and will probably go around another couple of times before the evening is through.  She has sat-up most of the day today and hasn't complained at all about it.
She is still having some diarrhea issues, probably due to the 8,000,0000,000,000 medications she is on, however, we plan to mention this to the docs in the morning during rounds to make sure there is nothing else going on.
Otherwise, she is getting stronger and stronger each day and as each day goes by, she looks more and more better.  She is sooooooooooooo ready to get out of "jail" (her words).
We should out tomorrow whether the biopsy is scheduled for Tuesday and if so, we would get the results sometime Wednesday morning and "maybe breaking out of here" (her words again).
