Counting Down....
Hello again to everyone...thanks to all of you for your wonderful comments and well wishes for Dad. I'm so glad that you enjoyed hearing all about my DEF LEP adventure and seeing all my pics. It was DEF a day & night I will never forget!!!
Just thought I'd give you all a quick update on whats going on around here before we leave for vacation (3 days and counting...lol). Rick's dad has been in Columbia Hosp. in NYC for over a week now in the Transplant Unit where he had his transplant surgery years ago. They first thought that they were going to perform a procedure to help isolate the kidney to keep it from poisoning his body but now they believe that his fever-causing infections are due to other problems and not necessarily the tranplanted kidney! It almost feels like we're back where we started months ago and its very distressing.
They have been doing some tests and havent really come up with anything concrete yet and in the meantime, poor Dad has been back and forth with fevers again and is still so weak that he can barely eat or stay awake. His has had a few good days and is now having really bad, discouraging ones again. I can't imagine how that poor man must feel...or Mom. The only thing Rick and I can do is be there for her, keep them both in our prayers and hope for the best.
I can truly be very disheartening...to say the least...and its been a very stressful few months on us all.
Thanks to all of you..my "Angels" and my dear friends for keeping our family in your prayers!! I love you all and appreciate your thoughts and prayers more than words can say!! Keep 'em comin' Loves..we're not outta the woods yet :D
On a lighter note...as I mentioned earlier...we are lucky enough to finally be able to go away on a mini-vacation. YEAH!!!! We are leaving NJ on Sunday morning for a family camping trip to Pennsylvania and we'll be back home sometime Thurs. evening. I know its not for very long..but we'll take whatever we can get at this point. The kids are so excited...and so am I!!
I can hardly wait to spend some time alone (ha ha..hopefully) with Hubby and just relax. We need this trip so badly...I can't even begin to tell you...lol.
So...I'll see you all when I get back...don't miss me too much...LMAO...just kidding!!
OOh and one more thing....I have posted below an awesome picture of my very own..personal...rock n' roll guitar wheelin' hero. My gorgeous hubby Rick playing his sleek black Yamaha..is he HOT or what??? Watch out Viv and Phil...hehe!

You and your family continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. And I hope they can pinpoint the problem soon.

Have a great time with your family on vacation, Lisa, and I will say prayers for Rick's dad. Speaking of hubby, he looks uber-cool with his axe ;D
Oooooh my Lisa, hubby is looking mighty spanky playing that guitar! You got a thing for musicians?? ;)
As I told you before, don't worry, your angels won't let you down Lisa, we're still keeping your father in law in our prayers and thoughts ~~ you have a terrific vacation now, that's an order!! See you when you get back! ;)
