One Week and Counting

Today will complete Mike's 7th day at the top of the transplant list. Some days have been better than others. However, Dad remains in good spirits and we all pray that the wait won't be much longer. Everyone is ready to move on. Yesterday he got a chance to spend the afternoon with Kelly and Taylor. They brought him mexican food and he inhaled it. There are some things in life that always make the day better. In this family it is mexican food. Taylor spent the afternoon curled in the bed with Papa, playing games and watching the Olympics. It is those moments of normalcy that make the days go by faster. From a health standpoint, there isn't much new to report. Dad's machines are doing their job. He has some pain in his shoulder and chest and the nurses are treating that on an as needed basis. Things are moving along as they should.
