Just a quick update. Today makes 6 weeks since the transplant surgeries. Bryant is doing well and is back to work. He continues to get blood work done regularly to check on everything as his body finds its new normal. He has experienced some side effects from the medications, but nothing too troubling so far. In general, he says he feels "fine".

I am also doing well. I went back to work on the 5th and am making it through the 10-plus-hour days okay, but my energy level is still not quite back to normal and I am beat by the time I get home. I still struggle with nerve pain in my entire left abdomen and the one spot in my left thigh, which is mostly aggravated by shirt side-seams rubbing on my skin and scar, and riding in a car over bumpy country roads. The doctor said it can take up to 6 months before it totally goes away, and it really is getting a little better each day.

All-in-all, we are both doing well in our recoveries and look forward to returning to "normal" over the next few months. We really do appreciate all of your prayers, thoughts, and support. Thank you all for caring!
