Derek's Recovery Update

The First day of Spring! It's been 21 days since Derek's Kidney Transplant. I'm happy to say he's doing really good! He had his check up today at UCSF, he needs to work on his medication balance because his blood pressure & potassium tend to be on the high side. He's lost weight about 10-12 pounds...and they (UCSF) put my worries at rest saying it's alright, because he's releasing all his toxins by Peeing once again. Who would think that this small little organ would make all the difference in our well being? Well Of course Derek loves the fact that he's slim & petite, it makes him "feel pretty" and he hopes to stay that way forever! LOL
Other than that...Derek is recovering quite well-Thank God!
Derek spent Tuesday with Frankie and Ryan in Monterey/Carmel. As usual they had a wonderful time together at the Aquarium and Eating.
Frankie is also doing exceptionally well in his recovery...but doesn't He deserve to???
He's "Frankie!"-I love em! These young men are truly exceptional people...with great hearts, lots of humor, laughter, and love. I'm so proud of them and love them all!
A special Thanks to Amy and Ryan for being there for both of them every step of the way, you two are very special people in all our lives.
Thanks to Everyone that has donated and Continue to Support the Fundraising, it has been a Huge Sense Of Relief to Both these young men!
God Bless You All!
