Go Walt, Go!

A Walt update is called for. I talked to Bonnie yesterday afternoon and she said that the surgery went very well, that the heart was a great match, and that it is looking good for pops there.

Bonnie's brother Mark left a comment in the entry from Friday night saying:

"God is GOOD! It has now been 24 hours since the surgery was completed, and Dad is stable and seems to be doing just great. As with any transplant, keep the prayers coming since there is still great risk in rejection over the next few weeks. Thank you all so much for your thoughts, prayers, and yes even MOJO baby! It means so much.

"GO WALT GO!"

Indeed! Go, Walt! Go!

And Go, You Guys! Go! Thanks so much for your prayers! Bonnie told me that she and the whole family appreciate the kind thoughts and prayers (yes and even mojo) that everyone across the board is sending them. And I appreciate the comments folks left sharing their personal experiences with transplants and family and life (Annie, Virginia especially you!)

So yeah, it has done nothing but rain. It was so tropical that we turned on the AC yesterday (Thank Goodness we're lazy and hadn't removed it from the window yet!) just to take the edge of the humidity out of the house. Then, the temp dropped about 30 degrees in a few hours and we opened the windows and now it is a billion degrees below zero and I'm wearing a fleece. I am, of course, the queen of hyperbole. But you catch my drift.

Rainy weekends are always taxing because in our house we're always right on top of one another, and after a few hours it just makes one totally mental. This is why we always go geocaching or hiking or something. It puts some space between our bodies.

I would put money on Geoff getting totally screamed at by one of the three of us before four pm today. I am glad the deluge has stopped, because I might just make him put on shoes and go outside and run around the dog pen 10 times just to get him out of doors.

Guess that's about it. Thanks again everyone for your notes and comments. Keep the prayers rolling because he'll need it for a while.
