Wednesday

Hard to believe but yesterday was 8 weeks since Rachel got her new heart.  She had  clinic visit on Monday and her bloodwork looked good and the doctor was pleased that she was eating more.  Since she has scored all zeroes on her first three biopsies, they have decided to wait until the middle of November (tentatively scheduled for 11/16) to do her next biopsy.  She continues to improve with her physical therapy.  While at the gym, they have her walking two five minute intervals on the treadmill and a two-minute cool down walk. 
If everything goes well during her clinic visit on October 31st, and we don't have any setbacks, we may try and bring her back home either later that same day, the 31st, or the next day, November 1st.  It will be her and Tammy's first time home since May 10th.
