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 »
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. Some people get a new kidney and bounce right back. Some people don’t. We happen to fall in that… 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 »
Virus update
We did indeed get to go to Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful time with lots of family we haven’t seen in a long while. We also became Adelyn’s Godparents when she celebrated the sacrament of Baptism. 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 »
Been a while…
Hi, Friends!! Well, it seems I’ve been absent for several weeks. I’m so so sorry. I guess when your husband gets a kidney and starts feeling better the family starts doing things. 🙂 So, how about a quick update? Jamey’s three month appointment was at the end of October. At that appointment he was informed that he only needed to… Read more »
Now’s not a good time…
Then: “I know it’s Christmas Eve, but we need you to fly home. Now.” “Your creatinine is still increasing. We are scheduling your catheter placement tomorrow.” “Your creatinine is STILL increasing. You don’t have time to heal for 6 weeks before starting dialysis. Your starting two days after surgery. The only center that can train you is in Aurora. Be… Read more »
Drum Roll Please!!
We had another clinic visit with fantastic news! Guess who gets to go to the season opener?? You got it!! We’ll be UNITED IN ORANGE on Sunday morning! 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 »
Updates!!
Jamey is feeling GREAT!!! We are down to scheduled once a week visits to clinic/hospital for labs and appointments. He is still working from home daily — but he has been to the office once or twice for a few hours. His immune system is still quite suppressed. We can expect that to be the case for several more months…. Read more »
