Happy July 4th!

Of course you all know at this point, dialysis still goes on...even on a holiday!  I was slow moving this morning, not feeling like a trip to Boston.  It's funny how many people were so surprised we had to come in today.  I was fearful of the road closures coming in.  We were able to make it in no problem!  We will see how the ride home goes.  The Red Sox should be ending right around or time of departure :(
I'm currently sitting here day dreaming of what a "normal" 4th would be!  A trip to see Auntie Julie & Uncle Wayne's...eating amazing food and lounging at the pond!  Maybe even a paddle boat ride....I have faith that is exactly what we will be doing next year at this time.
I remember thinking a couple months ago that this very weekend we would still be recovering from transplant...not waiting for transplant!  Today we had labs done to check the PTH level.  We will be getting the results on Wednesday to see where the level is at.  He has been treated with an IV medication.  He will also be going in on Thursday morning, for the nuc med study to check the parathyroid.  We should know by the end of the week what the plan is.  It is going to be a long week.  He has to go under for 4 hours on Thursday during that study....That is longer then his most recent surgery.  I just hope it all goes well and we get results quick.  I just can't wait for Mark to be listed!!
