Durel, please know how often I think of you during the week. I'm glad the stem cell transplant is done, and I hope you have passed those small stones by now and have good pain meds on board if needed.

It is truly wonderful to hear you're doing ok otherwise and I hope you know we're pulling for you, a lot! Rest easy and lots during this time.

From Durel's "Carepages":

I'm sorry I haven't updated this page lately. This is the reason why.

Soon after the transplant, I caught a seizure and some of the aftereffects from the transplant. I don't remember exactly what happened, all I know is that I was in ICU for a couple of weeks. My hands and feet were swollen, and it affected some of my internal organs. From October to around Thanksgiving is a blank to me. Cause of the long layup, I am unable to walk.

Now I am doing therapy here at Mayo. They are looking for a place for me to do therapy in Louisiana, so it may be soon that I will be coming home. I sometimes get platelets or blood transfusions.

Prayers still going out for Durel from me here in Lakeland. My oldest son had a kidney transplant on Sept 2, 2000 and he has been off all medications now for over 2 years now.

[LaPlaceFF]

Thanks to everyone for their support and prayers.

I am still here in Jacksonville doing therapy to walk again. I think I will be going home pretty soon.

I have recieved some Christmas cards from some S2K members. Thank you.

Once again, thank you S2K!!!!
