Early start into Boston for us yesterday. Mark had his dialysis first thing this morning and then it was off to the operating room for a new catheter. The replacement all went well. It was about a 2 hour procedure. They were not sure what they were going to do. There was the possibility that he would just try to adjust his catheter, replace it, or have to move completely to the other side of his chest. He ended up replacing the catheter on the same side it was originally on, it was just moved to come out a different way. They also used a different style catheter. He has a few new stitches on his neck and chest again. The pain factor is way less this time. Mark had one dose of Tylenol last night. This morning he mentioned he was in a little pain when I was adjusting him in bed. All the doctor's came in said everything looks well. We will be heading home soon.

The BEST part of last night was when we finally made it upstairs! We were on 10S the room was right next door to our last stay.....but even better was that Mark's best friend from school was on the same floor!!! He has surgery today...so we are thinking about him lots! Once we got settled last night we headed down to Brett's room. Mark wasn't being monitored because he was doing so great, so that made it okay for us to travel down the hall. Mark and Brett hung out and watched a movie...they were so happy to be together, you could see it on their faces.
