We have arrived safely at home! We left Pittsburgh yesterday afternoon and arrived home last night. Leah was very excited about sleeping in her own bed again (so was her mom). We can't thank you enough for your prayers, encouraging emails, cards, gifts adn visits over the last 7 weeks. It has been quite a journey, but we enjoy having Leah's personality back. We will not need to be back in Pittsburgh until the end of April or beginning of May for a clinic appointment. We will go to a lab that is local to continue her blood work. Sometime toward the end of summer, we will look into getting Leah's muscles reattached. This will be about a 2 week stay in Pittsburgh. We praise God for bringing us through this journey.

This week didn't turn out quite the way we were hoping. On Monday, Leah's prograf level was about 3 times what it should be (prograf is her anti-rejection medication). Because of this, they wanted to retest it today and see where it's at. It was much better, but still a little high, so they would like to do blood work on Thursday again, to make sure she's at a safe level before releasing us. It sounds like we will most likely get to go home on Thursday. Despite all of this, we are very happy with Leah's progress. Everyday she seems more like herself.

If all goes well with Leah's appointment tomorrow and her liver levels are good, we will be coming home. We will need to wait on the results of her levels before we get the ok to head out. We are looking forward to being back at our house again but not looking forward to packing up all the things that have accumulated over the last 7 weeks. We will keep you updated:)
