Almost everyone is home...

Frankie was discharged today. At this point he's just got pain at the incision site and he's feeling pretty good otherwise. As I type he's in the car on his way home to Pacific Grove. He's been absolutely craving fresh air and sunlight, so hopefully the chance to take a little walk along the beach will help give him a push in the right direction toward complete healing.

Derek on the other hand - is still in his room at UCSF. He went for an ultrasound this morning. Tomorrow they'll do some labs and a biopsy to make sure everything is going in the right direction. Right now they are still in the process of trying to get all the meds balanced right in order to achieve total success with the transplant. He is doing everything in his power to heal and keep this kidney going strong!

I posted pictures last night from the fundraiser dinner. Thanks again to Noah Andrews Photography for donating the time to come out and shoot the event for us. You can view the pictures by clicking here - http://theprofessionalfriends.smugmug.com/gallery/4446229_LV73h#261344702

I will have pictures from the hospital posted tomorrow.

Just talked to Frankie and he is slowly driving down 1 back home with my Mom. They are taking their time and enjoying the coastal views. He sound good, good enough to yell at me not to make him laugh cause it hurts.

Just saw the pics from the party and it looks like it was a hit. TaTa!!
