Hope for Lori
Finally, some good news from Rickey about Lori:
Dear Family and Friends,
Lori is doing much better than she has in a long time. Apparently, taking her to a different hospital has made a big difference, as they seem to know just what to do for her. Lori looks better than she has in probably 3 years. They not only have her kidneys pouring fluid out of her body, but she now has ankles instead of elephant feet, she no longer looks 20 months pregnant, and most important of all, she seems happy and able to comprehend what is said to her. It's hard to express our happiness. In addition to all of the above, she was seen twice by doctors from the liver transplant office today, will be seen by them again tomorrow, and will be seen by the actual transplant surgeon on Wednesday. We've tried for months to get to see these people, and now they are just coming out of the woodwork.
I think that if there is one thing that is a problem, it's that the rest of us are all suffering from exhaustion. Little things like driving down the wrong way on a one way street! Pulling over to the curb on the way home and catching some sleep at the wheel. Making supper and forgetting that you already had made supper, so you now have two suppers ready to eat at the same time. But this too, shall pass.
We thank all of you for your prayers and your kind wishes of support.
As always,
Rickey Lynn, Jennifer, June, David, and Kendell
