4 Days Post- Transplant: A GOOD DAY


Mitch's brother, Terry, visited Mitch from MD and spent the day with him. Mitch said he really liked that.

Here is Mitch walking today without assistance . He walked 2 sets of 3 laps. As you can see in the photo here, he is pushing the cart himself and only has one nurse (our favorite-Nick) in tow pushing his IV pole.

Another big accomplishment today.....
Mitch passed gas! Which was a big deal as you remember because now he can probably have the nose tube pulled in the am and drink water tomorrow! (not sure about lemonade)

Mitch is also ready to see his twin sons, Simon and Matias, tomorrow for the first time since he was wheeled back into the Operating Room. The slideshow pics to the right with the boys are from before the transplant.

Right on track! Next you get to eat. Hospital food never tasted so good. Pretty soon you'll be getting a slice from Pepper's.
