Free At Last, Free At Last

Hi - Chelsea moved to outpatient status Thursday evening!  That means she left the hospital as an in-patient but has to stay in Pittsburgh for a few months as out-patient. She will go back to the hospital for clinic 3 days a week for labs, check-ups and rejection scopes.  But this move is a huge step in the right direction!  It is nothing short of miraculous how far she has come in less than 2 months.

We are staying at Ronald McDonald house; but plan to move to the Residence Inn next weekend.  We can stay in a suite that will give us more room and a full kitchen.  Hoping that cooking again will get Chelsea's appetite back.  She is doing great in that respect though - she has hit 1000 calories per day on her own, shooting for 1200 calories. 

Michael came up for a quick visit and it was great seeing him. 

Special thanks to Jim and Christine for all the help back home. You guys are just the best!
