Day 20 with McHugh

Today was the first day (since our transplant journey began) where Nick did not have to go to Moffitt.  I did the catheter flush at the hotel, so our next Outpatient appointment for labs and doctor is scheduled for tomorrow.
It was a nice, quiet day and Nick was feeling well enough to visit with his dear friend from Cornell and Sigma Pi, Tom McHugh!  Nick and Tom have remained friends since their "college days".  He lives in Chicago, but drove from Orlando after attending a conference there.  It absolutely made Nick's day to have the opportunity to spend some time talking (and walking) with Tom.  It occurred to me that not only Nick's positive attitude, but the support from friends and family, truly does make all the difference in his chance at recovery.  Thank you, Tom and thanks to all of you who are supporting Nick by phone, email, mail, and in person.  You are precious to us and we are sincerely grateful for your love and support.
