Just Another Day… Kindof
I woke up. I got the girls up. They were eating breakfast. I was making lunches. Jamey came down and packed snacks and water bottles. I took the girls to school. I came home and got my shopping list. Jamey was leaving for work. I kissed him goodbye and off I went as well. A very typical weekday morning. At… Read more »
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 »
My Grandma Reads My Blog…
Seriously! How cool is that?? She also emails. And she emailed to say that she checked the blog but there wasn’t an update. This blogs for you Grandma Mifflin! 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 »
Pause
Well. Here we are. Three hundred eighty eight days later. Three hundred and eighty eight days since the call that informed us J needed a kidney. Lots of tears. Lots of anger. Lots of uncertainty. Lots of hope. Lots of love. Lots of surprises. Lots of miracles. It does not escape me that the man walking through this life with… Read more »

It was a beautiful evening! Now onto the virus. Recent labs show it is getting significantly better! Yay!! The down side to this is… 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 »
3 week post op update
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 »
Dialysis
This is a late post. Last week, the day we came home from the hospital, I cleaned all traces of dialysis out of our bedroom. Jamey walked in the house, hugged the girls, and then went straight to our shower. I cleaned out every bit of dialysis supplies while he was in the bathroom. I wanted him to see his… Read more »
