Good Afternoon

Good afternoon! Sorry this didn't get done sooner. I went back over to the Ronald Mcdonald House at 7 this morning to do Laundry. While that was going I got an hour nap in. Last night went well he slept great. We were both awake at 4 this morning and he told me his is ready to walk out of here. I said what? So how does it feel then to have new lungs? (because he told me it wouldn't hit him until he was ready to walk out) He said well I am at least ready to get out of this bed and walk around a while. He still has 2 chest tubes in. They pulled out his epidural this morning and by the time I got back he is in pain. They didn't get the pain meds started quite soon enough. He is now resting comfortably and sleeping right now. Pray that his pain can be barable. I am watching guys bow hunt water buffalo right now!! YEAH! It's not too bad...kinda interesting! Love to all!

Dr. Alex was just in. Nothing really new. Pretty much just waiting for those tubes to come out. He explained his meds and when we will need to come back for appt's with him etc. He is one of the nicest Dr's that we have...I say one of because we many that are nice! Here are a couple pics of him when he was in here with us not even 10 min ago! Enjoy! PS. I have to admit the Coyote movies weren't that bad...rachel!

Good evening! First thing this morning we went to Chicago to meet with the Dr who will be over seeing Brent’s photopheresis treatments. We had all of our questions answered and are hopeful that the treatments will work.  His first treatment will be Thursday morning of this week and we will have to go again on Friday. The treatments have to be done in Chicago and-we were glad to hear-the treatment will only be 2 hrs long!! The one side effects he has is that he can’t be exposed to the sun the first 24 hrs after treatment. This is because they use UV light in the treatment and it takes 24 hrs for his body to absorb any excess of the UV sensitive drug that may be in his body.    Other than that he should feel the same as usual!  He was also scheduled to get a port (under the skin) placed today. After checking his arms they concluded that they didn’t need the port because he has great veins!  We appreciate all the love, support & prayers everyone ha...
