Sorry for no post yesterday but I didn't get to stay for this biopsy. Dr. Hosenpud did it and he doesn't use the echo, he uses x-rays. So, I couldn't stay in the room. But, everything went well and we were finished in 2 hours.

We headed home this morning and had a great day for driving...until we got 15 miles from our hotel. Then the heavens opened. While I was taking the luggage cart back down to the lobby (we are on the 3rd floor), Tina called and gave Bill the results of the biopsy. He was again at status 0 which is no rejection at all. His Prograf (anti-rejection med) level is on the lower side of acceptable, and his blood count was a little low, but there are no changes to the meds. We go back in 3 months.

We've had some excitement here already this afternoon and evening. There have been severe thunderstorm warnings, a storm watch and we've lost power. Remember, we are on the 3rd floor, but at least if we have to use the stairs it's easier going down than up! Maybe it won't happen again. The weather report tomorrow has severe weather all along our route. We've already decided that if it gets bad we will just stop somewhere and wait it out. I have all of our medications with us, so it won't matter if we don't get home tomorrow.

We were able to visit with our friends Faith and Abner and had great time. They are really good company. We also heard about our friend Michael. He still has not gotten his heart, but he and Margaret finally got married. There is now a problem with his LVAD drive line. Depending on what the problem is it can either push him to the top of the list or get him taken off altogether. So, we're hoping he'll get bumped. He has a rarer blood type so his wait has been longer.

All for tonight. I'll let you know when we get home.
