Hammer Time

On the doctor front. Ryan had his follow up with the Oncologist and all is good. His other kidney looks great. Luckily the Oncologist we were set up with is a great guy. He is very personable, which is very important with what he is dealing with. Neal will have a follow up with the transplant doc on Thursday and the Oncologist in June. Neal's meds are still not quite right. Hopefully we will get there soon. He will also have his staples out this week.

Saturday we had the McHenry's, LaPorta's, Schrank's and Kothe's over. Needless to say it was a packed house. I believe Connor provided most of the entertainment. Between the airplane rides and talking with no teeth, we entertained each other.

The transplant center has taken quite an interest in Neal's wardrobe. For anyone that has seen him, the last six months he has pretty much worn sweats or pajama pants. When Ryan had his blood draw the phlebotomist asked who he donated to. When he said Neal, the phlebotomist said, "Oh yeah at least he stopped wearing pajama pants. He now stepped it up to sweats." A couple of weeks ago our nurse told me to take him out to the mall, if he would just put real pants on. I wanted to tell her, lady I have taken him to a restraunt in pajama pants and slippers, we have no shame. Neal is just trying to set a new fashion trend. At one point in time Hammer pants were popular, right?
