The big day has finally arrived. Lisa was discharged from the hospital today! The original plan had been for tomorrow, but after a little begging on Lisa's part, she was allowed to go. Everyone truly felt awful that she has had to stay this long. We laughed about her not wearing shoes for a month. (insert Kentucky joke here!)
She ironically was discharged on her one month anniversary of being transplanted. She talked about how happy she was to be leaving but also remembered that somewhere in the U.S. a family is mourning the one month anniversary of the loss of a loved one. She asks that everyone continue to pray for her donor family. We all hope to meet them some day and try to express our thanks.
Even though Lisa has been discharged, she will continue her pulmonary rehabilitation first thing in the morning. No rest for the weary! Please continue to pray that Lisa's recovery stays on track. She has definitely had enough bumps in the road.
