Back at Columbia

Adrienne was discharged late this afternoon and is now enjoying a long shower without IVs and poles. When she's done, we're going out for a nice meal since the hospital food was as bad as hospital food gets. I tried to go out and get things she'd like but there wasn't much close by.

She is still feeling a bit weak and tired, but she's so much better. The liver numbers are still high but they seem to be coming down slowly. I called SCCA where Adrienne had her allo transplant and they don't think that's the cause but the docs there will discuss it. They think the problem is the clinical trial drug. Hmmm.

Adrienne will go back to see the doctor on Monday so we can figure out what to do for treatment. I'll stay here for 2 to 3 days more to make sure she's okay and then go back to Las Vegas. Curt and I will be back in just two weeks for Thanksgiving. Hopefully she can catch up with her school work between now and then as her profs so far seem willing to do whatever is needed to get her through the semester.

Great news!! I hope you went somewhere really good and ate something really fattening:) We're thankful to hear the positive news, and we'll be praying about the drug situation. We're in Houston now, so we will pass along any good info.
