Dr Kumar did the cath and said,"the heart looks fantastic!" That's what I want to hear!!
Staying on to improve red count, balance anti-reject meds and fluids. There's a lot of complex chemistry.
I'll be here over the weekend and maybe as long as Thursday - the 2nd biopsy is Wednesday so they may just keep me till then.
Visitors are welcome. I'm feeling great and getting excellent care. The chaplain visits me and is a hoot, too! What a great servant of The Lord!
Kasey & Nelson came yesterday- they are so great together and Kasey is just precious, she's due to deliver their son, Alejandro, by the 14th! The first grand for both families.
Vickie and I get rounds of education on our "New Normal". It is a lot but they are great teachers so we'll be fine.
The profound take-away is that the old, diseased life is over and a new, healthy life has begun. I feel this heart beating so strong at night that I hear it move the pillow case beneath my neck.
The donor heart is chilled and implanted and then the bypass ends - when warm blood fills the heart it beats on its own! It beats because it must beat, it beats because it was created to beat and even has a brain of its own to make it beat!
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well. Ps 139:14 Praise You, O Great God of Glory!
Thanks for your cards, thoughts, love and prayers!
