Good News:
Terry's CAT scan Friday and visit with Dr. Smith Monday told us that his lungs look good, no longer a concern, so we will continue as scheduled. We learned something else though.
Bad News:
Our count down, for the 3 to 4 months we will be in Seattle begins the day of the transplant, not the day we arrive for testing. So we will be over there longer than what we had originally thought.
We had a "conference call" with Samantha from SCCA last week and learned that his transplant will probably take place on April 21st, so our count down will begin from that day. How did we miss that one? They have talked to us about counting the days before the transplant as -1, -2, etc. and the days after the transplant as 1, 2, etc. But we didn't ever connect the dots to think that it meant that we don't count the days before the transplant as part of our time there.
I'm sure we will keep learning that what we thought we knew isn't really the way it is at all. Oh well! They are probably trying to keep us alert and preparing us to just roll with the punches. We are going to do our best.

I think the good news outweighed the bad. :) I also think you need to know that you've got sincere prayers being offered from here.
Aunt Elaine, I don't know how close you need to be to the hopsital but you are ALWAYS WELCOME to stay with me and my little family. We have an extra queen bed that you can claim as your room. We'll even give you your own key so you can come and go as you please. If they are providing living quarters for you closer, I understand. If not, we would love to have you come be with us. Which hospital are you going to be at?
