Hi, this is John, Liz's husband!  Liz is in recovery from her transplant surgery.  All is well.  She and her donor got through everything with me flying colors!  The drs were very happy with everything.   Now we just have to get her stronger, get her home and celebrate the holidays in style!

Best wishes to everyone here!

*****WARNING***** - if she comes home on PREDNISONE stock up on fruits and veggies and other healthy foods/snacks!   I was recovering over the holidays last year and it a horrible time with eating!  Tell friends and family to keep the holiday "goodies" to a minimum!!!
