Another Update from Linda:

10/13/09: They finally took Jerry for a walk yesterday morning before I got there. He said that it felt great to get out of bed but it really tired him out. When I arrived he was sitting in the recliner which was a good sign that he's doing better. Later after I left they were going to do a procedure to drain the fluid from his belly. The doctor said that he'll probably be able to come home today. I will post back later to let you know if he does.

So sorry to hear about all that your husband has been through. I will also keep you and your husband in my prayers. You have been such an inspirataion and invaluable recipe resource for us all. There's a lot of love and support being sent your way.

10/13/09 (later): Jerry didn't come home today after all but the doctor said he should be able to go home tomorrow, probably sometime in the morning. When I arrived at the hospital this morning, Jerry was in the bathroom washing up by himself which was a good sign. He said that he'd also walked three laps around the hallway (with a walker) before I got there and yesterday he was pooped after just one lap. Yesterday they removed 6 liters of fluid from his belly. Jerry said that he feels a LOT better now that all that fluid isn't pressing on his stomach.

I'm a bit late adding to this thread but it seems that all the prayers and well wishes have worked. I, too, will pray for you both and sending best wishes for a speedy transplant and an even speedier road to recovery.

From Linda:

10/15/09: I brought Jerry home from the hospital late last night. He would have gone home earlier in the day but his blood pressure was much too low so they had to try to get it higher before they'd release him. He's got five days to recuperate before going back to work next Tuesday and next Monday is the day that he goes for his transplant evaluation. Thank you again for all of your prayers and generous donations during this ordeal.
