You've heard from Wayne and the kids, but I have not been on the computer for several months now. The fact that I am writing, should indicate that I am slowly on my way back. The anti-rejection medication makes everyone have tremors, so it is difficult to type, but I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has written, sent cards, gifts, and letters of encouragement. The prayers have kept me going when I wanted to give up, so keep the prayer warriors at work!
Wayne has been the caregiver poster child. He is working harder than he did when he had a full time job, as this one never stops. I literally would not be here if it weren't for his loving and faithful care.
I will have a bronch and a surgical biopsy on Tuesday and will see the doctor on Wednesday. We all have to have blood tests, a chest x-ray and PFT (pulmonary function tests) and see one of the doctors once a week. After 3 or 4 months, it will be once a month, and eventually every three months. So they keep a close eye on us.
Hope you all have a safe Labor Day. I think we will take a ride this afternoon, and maybe drive to Cary where we use to live. Wayne attended a Duke Football game yesterday, but his presence didn't help, as they lost their 21st game in a row!!!! But, all is not lost, as they have the best graduation rate in division one. They post that at the games, since their record is so bad. Crystal came and sat with me.
Love and praise to all of you.

Joy,
How great to read your blog!!!!You have both been so courageous and strong. Can't wait til you're back in Illinois. I'm sure it's a good thing neither of you knew ahead of time what was ahead. Obviously, you're on the right road now and it's just a matter of time when it will all be over!!!
The prayers are working.oxx,Cinder
Joy,
How great to "hear your voice" via the blog. It is a confirmation of what Wayne has told us about your recovery. Our SS class prayed again for you this morning. We will not stop. . .You better not let the word get out too far about the great care Wayne is giving you. Someone may steal him away. You are truly blessed. Your kids have been so faithful, too. You can be so proud of them. May God continue to bless you with healing. Love, Sharon
Dearest Mother, How cool it is to see you at a computer again. Glad dad made it to his game, and that you are being well cared for. Everyone keeps asking me how you are doing. Now they can see for themselves. Can't wait to have you all home. Love Cathy

Dear Joy,
Thanks for writing. Wayne has been doing his best to keep us all entertained, but obviously, you are the star of this show. Glad to hear you're getting better. Hope you enjoy the drive in the country... Steve will be spending labor day at work! Too bad about Duke... We won't brag about PSU... yet... Let's all have a moment of silence for Michigan...
