No News is Good News
So, here in the Feger house we have been finding peace. Why haven’t I updated the blog? It hasn’t been on my mind. Instead, I’ve been planning Transplantiversary celebrations, getting the kids back to school, preparing for the holidays, working around Jamey’s travel schedule — you know, NORMAL THINGS. Can we celebrate a little?? Woo Hoo!!!! Let’s go back to… Read more »
Health(y)-ier
I think back to the classes we sat in. Do you remember we had to go to classes so Jamey could be placed on the transplant list? They told us that transplant is not a cure. Transplant is NOT a cure.

I suppose I should start with December 2015. I failed to post that we had an amazing opportunity. Let’s backtrack a bit more… If you’ve read How We Ended Up Here –… Read more »

It is a crowded space – but it is open air with lots of places we can go if we feel his health is being compromised. The last game we went to… Read more »

He is doing great!! We are still going to the hospital twice a week. They draw blood and tell us how to change his meds around. We’ve gotten pretty used to the process and it is now just part of our week. Jamey had been getting pretty light headed when he stood up. We would check his bp and it… Read more »
Ryan: 14 days later
Ryan is doing great! A little bird told me he even took his girls for a bike ride. Whew!! I’m guessing that wasn’t too comfortable yet. He is such an amazing man. The things he will do for others knows no bounds. This weekend he has his family on a little St. Louis get away. It looks like they are… Read more »

14 days. Creatinine down 18 points. Weight (extra fluid and toxins) down nearly 30 lbs. Phosphorus down. Potassium down. Liver enzymes down. Thankful and Amazed.
Clinic Visit #2
I mentioned last week that Jamey has to attend Clinic twice a week for the next several weeks. Today was our second visit to Clinic (or the hospital lab and transplant office). I asked him this weekend how he was feeling — and the feeling was its a long time between Friday and Tuesday when you are wondering if your… Read more »
