6/13/2012 - Can you believe it!  It has been 3 weeks since Noel's Transplant. Since then he has had at least 8 medicine changes and additions.  Bringing the total of medicines in the morning to 20 and 9 in the evening along with the 3-4 insulin shots a day.  We also do our daily routine of weighing in.  Blood pressure, temperature & blood sugar tests are done 3-4 times daily to be charted down.  We still are going 3-4 times a week for lab work and 1 clinic visit. 

We are getting to know the University of Utah Cafeteria pretty well for breakfast & lunch on our long lab & clinic days.  Thank you Bonnie the meals are great every time we eat there!  The valet parking attendants along with the people at the lab check-in desk know us by name now!  
That actually is pretty cool!


Nice shirt Noel a new birthday! 
Thank you Kelly, Kristin, Makenzie & Makailee!


Lab & Office visit 6/13/2012

 Before staples removed. . .

 Passing time by playing with the Nook at the University of Utah Hospital in between appointments. . .

 Taking a snooze while waiting for doctors. . .

 Ouch! Dr. Millar thanks for taking out the staples! 

 Oh I thought you were done more to go! This is no joke! LOL!

Looks like Dr. Millar is all done!  Wow!  Does that ever feel better now! 
No Infection and just a few open spots other than that all is well!

Noel is doing awesome and couldn't be better!  Doctors say to watch the carbs, low sodium, low fat & low sugar in his diet. . .Next week they may lower one medicine maybe the feet will quit swelling and the tremors subside some.  He so wants to go fishing but knows he can't for sometime.  We love to go to Brett baseball games to past the time but sit a distance to watch them.  Little by little Noel gets out and takes a walk.  Energy level has gone way up!  Eating better!  NO MORE ITCHING!  YEA!

Thank you everyone for your support through all this.  We know we still have a long road ahead of us.  Also thank you again for your support at the Bowling Fundraiser.  It was a blast!  This is our next fundraiser in July!
