Hot summer day update

Hi All,
The ribs are much better now. So the healing is progressing. I have decreased the predisone to 20mg/30mg alternating days. This will continue for 2 weeks and then I will, baring no complications, go to 20mg a day for at least 2 weeks. The reduction in the predisone at this point must be VERY slow so I do not relaps with more inflimation. The dotors are pleased with my progress. No word on UMass but I am seeing the transplant doctor coordinator on Monday so he, Dr. Friedman, may have some news. I have been walking for longer distances outside and my legs are much stronger. I am anxious to start doing steps so I can go to the kitchen.

Anabelle is growing so fast and is a bundle of energy. Gary, of course, is exhasuted taking care of me, working and his parents. But we just plug along.

Hope you are all enjoying your summer. HOT! Michele
