Hello!
Sorry for the lack of communications... but we've reached the stage where it's a waiting game. AND WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE SOMETHING TO WAIT FOR! We have a donor in testing - one of the incredibly caring, generous, brave, wonderful people we know. We have others waiting in the wings. We want what they all want - for them ALL to be healthy enough to give Mike this crucial gift.
Meanwhile, might it actually be spring in Boston? After a cold winter, we are enjoying the first of many warmer days. Lots of you have asked how Mike is feeling - and thanks in large part to all of you, he is feeling optimistic! He is still carefully watching his diet and exercising and sleeping as much as he can, and working, of course :) One of the most important things is that he take the same advice we all get - eat well, exercise, get enough sleep - very seriously. His dietary restrictions are more slowly becoming more stringent as his kidneys continue to loose their ability to filter poisons from his blood and balance his body chemistry, but he's very conscious of taking excellent care of himself.
Happy Spring!
Samantha ( & Co.)
