Good morning!

Brent had a pretty good night last night. When I came this morning he was walking the halls! He has been feeling decent all things considered. He does have some back pain-from laying on the OR table for so long in the same position and he has some pain in his incision. The pain meds are helping along with hot packs. 
He currently has a room on the other floor but we are waiting for the nurses to give/get report,etc. 
Being here in the most critical ICU that the hospital has we are SO thankful things have progressed they way they have. Our hearts ache for the families you see that are hurting. We have so much to be thankful for-with all GLORY going to our all powerful GOD who has no doubt gotten us through! 
Thanks as always for you notes, texts, emails, etc it's truly the other piece that gets us through every day!
Love- Trudy

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...
