It's crazy. I don't know how people do it. There are people who have doctor appointments regularly where they could receive bad news. I have no idea how people sleep and get through the days when they know anything could happen. Thinking it could be worse, thinking it HAS been worse, got me through the day. The day we went to the hepatologist and he told us we should begin the transplant process, I remember telling Kirk people had worse appointments that very day. It could have been worse.
Yesterday's appointment was pretty much good. Repeat labs at some point soon after we get back from vacation. As long as Kirk's liver enzymes are trending downward, (they were high at his last blood draw) just follow up with the hepatologist in 3-4 months. Easy enough. If they are still high, further testing.
We leave for vacation tomorrow. We decided against rustic camping and found a little cottage to spend the week. Looking forward to a week just hanging out, fishing, exploring and celebrating someone's 6th birthday. Finding it hard to believe this is our second to last week of summer!
I will have pictures on Instagram and post when we get home.
Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers, texts. We ALL appreciate it!
