Yesterday was the first of three doctor appointments this week. Dr. Fischbach has been so wonderful to us. When Eldon told her that he has a motorcycle he rides she kindly reminded him that most of the donors come from motorocycle riders. I told her his "bike" is a 110 Honda Trailbike and that he calls it his "hog". She laughed and said it sounded more like a "piglet". That's exactly what I called his "hog". He's doing well and she's pleased. In July we will have a CT scan and that will show us more about the liver tumor. I asked if the tumor could be completely gone at that time. She said it could be probably not. She told us it could take 9-12 months before we see the tumor completely gone. We can live with that. So the doctor told Eldon to live his life, within reason, nothing wild and crazy. She also told us to expect to wait at least a year before the transplant takes place. She's saying maybe next spring. I wish we didn't have to wait so long but then it shows that Eldon is doing well and all the blessings and prayers are working. Thank you.\
Tomorrow we have two appointments, one with the Liver Transplant Clinic and the other with our regular family doctor. Dr. Tipton, the one who found this tumor and saved Eldon's life.
