My heart aches for you, Otto, and your whole family. I'm glad Otto is home and doing well, but I know it must be awful looking at Wall-e again.

Amy,
You are one of the strongest women I know.  I have no doubt your love and perseverance will help Otto and the kids get through.  Please remember to take care of you.   Know you are loved by all of your family at IHD.

So sorry to hear of all the troubles.  My heart hurts with you as you go through this bad time.
But Otto is home so it's time for things to get back to normal for him and the children and you.
Time to pick up, brush your butts off and get on down the road again.  You are all in my prayers.

Love, Mimi

Otto went today and had his staples removed, so hopefully his pain will now start to chill out. Otto's Dr also put Otto back as active on the list since he thought the Dr we dislike(nice words) was being silly to have him wait since it's not like another kidney will become available tomorrow. We also were told that when the call comes we can say the bad Dr is to have no part in his care.

I have decided next time Otto gets the call I will put in the subject line "OMG Otto got the call, get me a drink and straight jacket" :rofl; :rofl; I have to say as weak as Otto is I'm OK if it's not soon as we still ALL are healing and trying to get back to "normal". I am so thankful for you all you have no idea how much your words have helped me. You ALL truly are family xoxoxoxo :grouphug;
