Day 15, This is a GOOD Day!

We finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! Today the doctor told us that Lee is doing better than most of his patients and we don't have to come to the hospital tomorrow. That will be the first free day in a month.

The doctor also said that we can go home, home, (you know where we live for real!) on Monday, after our appointments in the transplant center. We are so glad to be looking at this ordeal from the other side now. It has been one of the most difficult things we have ever gone through.

There will still be a gradual recovery as Lee builds up his strength. He hopes to go back to work after the New Year.

But wait, there is more good news!!! Our son Robert called this morning to tell us he was accepted into Dental School at the university he is now attending. We are all so happy, he, Chalece and our little darling baby Brielle will be living close for at least 4 more years. We are so grateful, they have been a wonderful help this past year, and we love watching our grandaughter grow up.

Janette and Brandon may also be moving to the same city within a year and a half! They also have been so much help during the past years of Lee's illness. Everything from watching their sisters to helping us maintain our cottage. We don't know what we would do without them! Noah thinks his Grandpa Kolts is the guy who will buy him surprises when he sees him, and he is so cute about it grandpa is a push over. Baby Isabelle is 10 months old and is soooooooooooooo cute!

Aubrey contacted our neighbor who has her own housekeeping business and hired her to do a extra good cleaning, he is imune compromised so it will be a good thing.

We are so blessed to have eight wonderful children, and their spouses who are so loving and supportive, with daily contact and prayers we have gained our strength from them and from our friends who have remembered us in their prayers as well.

So you see, today is a GOOD day, and we look forward to many more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yay!!! When I talked to Dad this morning he was laughing and it sounded so good. He sounded like my daddy. I am so grateful that he is doing so well, and that you are able to go home, I don't know how much longer Mariah would have survived :) I love you both and are so grateful for you.
