She's outta the Hospital!!!

Hello Family and Friends,
Today is a Great Day, Rebecca was discharged from University of Washington Medical Center. Complete with a new set of healthy lungs and an renewed outlook on life. The pharmacy was a big stop for us as the morning wore on, we picked up a bag full of meds. Anti rejection, pain relief, insulin pen and many more, (too numerous to list) This is what she will be taking for the rest of her life. But I should point out, there are quite a few, but only a couple of those horse pills. We rolled out of the Hospital at 1PM sharp and Rebecca was greeted by a beautiful sunny Pacific NW day. Wearing her duck billed N95 mask (when in crowds) she was delighted to be get out. After we got to the apartment, Rebecca settled in and rested for a while, Momma Elsa made some lunch and Ingrid talked with Beck. After about a 45 minute visit after getting back, I took Ingrid to SeaTac airport and saw her off on her way back home to Manhattan,(as I write this she is on her way in a limo to hers and Karl's apartment. Thank You Ingrid, You are one Hell of a great Sister. I Love You!!!
Rebecca has settled into our place and now has taken her well deserved shower, anyone who s ever spend a few days in a hospital can relate. Now it's time to get on the time table for med s and rehab, appointments with the lung transplant pulmonologist, labs and chest x-rays. This will be going on for the next few months, hence to why we have to stay here.
Also on this fine day Rebeccas good friend Kathlin Kennedy got her lungs too, this is so great!!! She and Beck became transplant support group buddies over the course of the past year. We are very happy with the news, she got the call this morning while Rebecca was getting her stuff together to be discharged. This evening we received a text from her family that shes in the ICU resting and beginning her journey to recovery too. So all in all an awesome day for many folks out there. Prayers and Best Wishes to a speedy and uneventful recovery to Kathlin and her family. And Of course my girl too. Thank You everyone for being there with us, your continued support shines through. Lots of Love out there. :0)

Your Friends,
Ron and Rebecca

PS: Good Night Ingy!!!
