Alan's Reflections

First of all, I would like to thank you for your prayers and concern for us - Judy and me. Your prayers are especially appreciated because through prayer and God's help anything is possible. Faith, determination, family, and friends are going to be the anchors that pull me through this difficult time. (I am a Navy guy, you know.)

Some of you like to give me a hard time, that is appreciated too! I know you are just doing so because you care. I look forward to many more fun times with each of you. May God bless and keep you.

Signing off with the name my grandchildren call me,
Dude

Dad Keeps Setting Records

Dad had another great day.  He was a little more tired this morning and dealt with a couple bouts of pain, but he also continued to break hospital lung transplant records.  He got to begin eating soft foods today and when he ate for the first time, he realized how hungry he was.  Lots of people came in and out to check on and discuss a variety of things.  He walked twice today - 30 laps right after lunch and then 20 more laps this evening.  18 laps around the unit total a mile, so he completed almost 3 miles of walking today.  Remarkable, huh???  All the people on his medical team are amazed at him.  So are we!  The projection is that he will be discharged on Friday if all continues to go so well.  Again, a record - discharge 6 days post lung transplant.  Mind boggling!

Thanks again for all the continued support and prayers.
