Home Sweet Home
We're home! Joe got out of the hospital on Thursday, 8 days after transplant. He continues to heal at home and we will return to UCLA twice a week for doctors to monitor his medications & progress. He can get around on his own and they encourage him to walk as much as he feels like but no lifting more than 15 pounds. No driving or going to work for at least 4-6 weeks. He's actually adapting quite well to this slower routine... I was a little worried as those who know him know he does not sit still for very long. He's loving all of the calls, cards & short visits from friends & family which make him feel like he's getting back into his life again. Being gone in Florida for 5 months was tough and he is enjoying being at home and reconnecting. Thanks again to all of our friends & family who helped keep our family going throughout all of this. To our donor family we look forward to one day meeting you and sharing our love & gratitude to you for your special gift.

Welcome Home Joe. We are so happy for all of you. Love to all, Doug, Nancy, Adam, Kate
Awesome news Joe. I'll be visiting my parents some time the first two weeks of December and I'll stop by to visit. I'll call first to make sure you're up to it. Godspeed. Marcus
So glad you are home and recovering well. We have been thinking of you very much. We bet it feels good to be home:)
I was thrilled to read the great news about your liver transplant.
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you continue to recover.
