Recovery Continues
Joe's recovery continues to be moving along well. Today they took out his nose tube and he is off all of his pain meds! He is up and walking (dragging his IV pole) and got to brush his teeth in the bathroom sink. Woo Hoo... the little things that make us happy. We got to sleep from 11-4 last night without being woken up by nurses checking IVs, monitors etc. It felt great for us both. My parents brought the kids to spend time today which we loved. Joe's parents came also which was special since they had driven the last 3 days straight to get home from their vacation to see Joe. Joe missed attending the alumni event for his Cal State Fulleton soccer team on Saturday night but received a gift from them which was a #9 (his college #) jersey from the alumni game signed by all his former teammates who were there. Friendships that have lasted 25 years... amazing! Forever thankful for the blessings that this event have brought to us.

Amazing..just amazing story.
Joe and Bobby,
We were your neighbours ( Amla and Jay) in Florida the Inn at Mayo , Jacksonville, Fl.
We are sending our best to Joe, you and the rest of the family.
I am now a believer that God works in mysterious ways and we should not try to analyse what is happening at the time..just believe in Angles and Miracles.
All the best !!! Speedy recovery to Joe.
We are so happy to hear about the transplant and that Joe is doing well. Our thoughts are with your family and hope the recovery and all that goes along with it continues to go well.
