Hey there everyone - just in case you haven't been able to get on the carepage - Heather mentioned she was having some problems - I'm actually breathing a little easier - see latest update below - but basically so far so good! ;-)
Our night and PD!!
Hey there everybody - I'm sure you are all SICK of hearing from us by now - will try to just update once a day until we get home. Things are mostly good this morning (espcially on the big stuff). I was honestly a little nervous even last night after surgery - but Hyde did his full dialysis last night only 4 hours after surgery and it went well so I'm feeling much better.
Hyde's not feeling quite as good - having some pain from surgery obviously but he's getting to eat this morning and he of course wants chicken fingers - so trying to see if the hospital will make them at 9 in the morning - if not Aunt Sarah will be driving around Atlanta looking for some ;-). His blood pressure was actually LOW last night but back up to 'normal' for us this morning so he got his regular BP meds - we expected this and are hoping he can slowly drop some of these over the next few months. Thanks again and we'll let you know as we find out any more.
Bill, Phyllis, Ruth, and Hyde

Glad the surgery went well. Bp's will take a little time yet to stabilize. Have patience and faith.
