For those of you who have been waiting for updates on Dennis's transplant progress, I have news, finally.
Our slow, forward crawl and giant steps backward have been replaced by improvement and progress. The two drains were removed a week ago and the antibiotics discontinued earlier this week. With the completion of the oral surgery, also this week, Dennis has met all of the requirements for listing by the transplant team.
Considering what a skinny guy he is these days, Dennis looks great. He has more energy than he's had in months and feels better, for the most part, overall. He's ready and anxious to get the transplant over and done with so we can get on with our lives. Our next appointment with the surgeons, tentatively scheduled for Dec. 22nd (could be sooner if cancellations come up), should be the "listing appointment". After that, it's a matter of time and patience (again???), waiting for the call. I don't think it will be a long wait.
