Following my last angry post a couple of weeks ago (see here), I feel I should update the situation on Tim. He had a good recovery once he was out of the hospital's "care" and after being seen as an out-patient by the right (senior) consultant. His infection has gone entirely and he has now had over ten days of low readings for everything critical (creatinine and Tacrolimus).
Last week he sent me one of those "really nice to get" e-mails in which he said that "I am feeling much better
than I have since the op and for I don't know how long before that" and then another this week where he added "I just feel like doing more
than I have been doing and thoroughly enjoying it!" I think it's fair to say that my brother is well and almost back to his old self; that makes me very happy indeed.
As for me, I am just very thankful that I have been able to help him; our prayers (and those of several hundred others) have been answered in a quiet but dramatic sort of way, and we praise the Lord for his many blessings to us. I am still amazed at how my own recovery was free from pain and I had no real issue at all in the entire process. It was a surprise to realise that the 100 day mark was reached a week ago, which sounds as though it should be a call for celebration. I have started to lift things and generally be far more energetic, so I have started work on some of the outstanding tasks around the house - all the things that were put on hold just before the op last October. Now I just need the weather to improve!
