Getting Ready for 1st year Anniversary(Birthday)

Well, we are approaching the 1 year from transplant and they said they will begin the tests soon to determine how his body and blood are withstanding everything. He is having surgery Wednesday to stretch his esophogus and they will biopsy whatever is in his throat to try to determine exactly what it is. He has lost 4 more pounds and it is hard for him to eat much at all! Hopefully this will take care of it and he can get back to enjoying food again! I sure hope so! They are drawing more blood tomorrow because they saw something they think is fungus in his bloodwork from Tuesday. Sharon, the NP, said it could have been a mistake on the lab part, so pray real hard it is only a mistake in the lab! If it is not he will be going in for treatment. Rick Rockhill has gone home and sounded so much better when we talked to him Thursday night! He lost his best friend, Paul Davis, this last week. Ron was with him and that brotherly love was evident!!! Lois turned 90 years young this past week, I did not know this until Karen called and told me,so "HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY LOIS"! I talked to Butch and he sounded good but tired! He is overdoing, of course, and is still having chest pains! I am sorry I have not posted anything since Tuesday, but our internet service went out. Just got it back today! Keep Terry in your prayers and I will update after the surgery on Wednesday! Love to you all! Alyce
