Hope is Alive

Graham has gained 10lbs since being admitted last Thursday.  His current weight is 97.9!!!  His stats are still good and he is still less anxious and more comfortable due to the increase in pain meds.  I jokingly keep asking him if he has made it to "one-derland" yet; we love to watch the Biggest Loser...trying to make Graham the Biggest Gainer.

It's awesome that he's comfortable, it's been a long while since he's felt like crud, not death, but he's still struggling with junk in his lungs and he's also very weak.  He started physical therapy in the hospital today.  Maybe with the added weight and regular exercise he can get stronger.  It is still very apparent that he is unable to live like this.  A miracle would be awesome and I still dream of the day that he feels like he did pre-transplant, however Graham does not believe it can happen.

Dr. Rosenblatt still is waiting to send Graham's file to UCLA...my guess, to get his weight back up so that nutrition is not a factor in denial. 

Such a great phrase and something I have always believed in - HOPE
