Yesterday was the halfway mark of 100 days post transplant!!! Cannot wait to hear the words from my team- You can go home! Still hoping for before Christmas though Day 100 is Jan 1!

Friday was our warmest day for awhile- maybe for the rest of our time in Houston. We took a drive to a beach on the gulf, Surfside Beach. It is an hour away and a bit farther south than Galveston (which we have been to several times). In comparison it is a more residential than tourist area. We saw a juvenile Roseate Spoonbill bird. It was pink! We have never seen one before! There was beach activity because it was 80 degrees. We walked a bit on the beach, I sat in the sand while David flew his kite, we drove around the area looking at the houses built on stilts and got an ice cream treat before driving back home. It was a wonderful time away from our tiny house. I feel pretty good most of the time. Still find myself resting each afternoon. My gut is still my biggest issue but it is better than it was. I am eating better but still not normal. I drink an electrolyte drink (yuck) each day to keep my magnesium up. The anti- rejection medicine I take lowers magnesium so I am on an oral magnesium pill, but am trying to eat and drink magnesium rich foods. The pill can make me nauseous so hoping the food and drink will get me off the pill only go to see my doctor and have labs drawn once a week now. We try to walk around the lake each day, have short outings, are working on a puzzle and I am making grandkids Christmas gifts. David rides his bike and enjoys visiting with many of the people here.
