Visitation and Helping out

There have been many inquiries about visiting Emily and helping us out in anyway possible.

First, visitation is strictly regulated. Emily is on many medications to prevent rejection of her new heart, these include immune suppression therapy. Consequently, she will be very susceptible to infection for several months and visitors will be very limited. I am the newly elected Vice President of Gate Keeping so everything must be approved by me in triplicate. Pictures and streaming video (if I can figure how to do it) may have to due for a while.

Secondly, many of you want to do something. All coordination of meals, drivers, yard work, poop removal, childcare, etc. will be filtered through the newly created position of Vice President of Everything Else. I have promoted from within the organization so Melissa Wiczek will no longer be only handling meals but you guessed it, everything else. Her email address is, wiczek5940@comcast.net.

Emily is feeling great today. She sat up in her chair for a long while and even walked around the unit. The transplant team is obviously pleased with her progress.

Also, Kate took and posted a picture of Emily after surgery with her lousy camera phone for effect, she really isn’t that pale.

Love, Pete

Em, Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you night and day. I'm tracking all your progress and am so impressed. Don't want to interfere with all you need to do to get back on your feet--just want to send our love. Pete, you're a rock. Thank you. We're here for whatever you need. Sending huge hugs to you, Pete and those amazing boys. Love, Reagan
