Hi to all,
The old saying you all have heard..."today is the first day of the rest of your life" has taken on a new meaning for me today. With transplant day being day "0" on the hospital calendar, today is truly day +1 for me, and the count goes on from there, all positive numbers. They may not all be great days, but they all will lead to better ones, and that's what counts!
Still doing fine, and had a relaxing day. Cook, Kim and Grandma Dee stopped by to visit. A special thank you to Kimmers for all her incredible efforts on our behalf. She has been doing amazing things around the house in our absence, and she is the driving force behind this fabulous source of communication between us all on the blog. She is heading out today for a new adventure with Habitat for Humanity for the summer, and we will miss her, and wish her well!
Cook and I started watching Planet Earth today...very cool (thanks Sabins). After missing one day, I got back to some exercise today. Had a short workout with Bridgette (aka Wii girl) in the room with some resistance therapy of hers, and later in the day I got my mile walk in with Daisy Mae-pole. It felt good to move around again, and I hope I can continue that daily.
Not much else to say other than I really really enjoy all your comments, and they are great to read daily...keep up the good work. Thanks for all the support!
Love,
Mike

Mike and Cookie,
We wish that you did not have to go through this yet, there is no one else who could have given us all this gift with such grace and positive energy.
Just wondering..... should we start pimping out our cars?
You are in our thoughts each day,

Hi Mike and Cookie. So glad to hear things are going well and we're thinking about you all the time. My mom and dad (Leslie's) ask about you every day and it's great to be able to tell them how well you're doing. Just being able to read the blog every day has made such a different in our worry level! Thanks for writing it and keeping such a positive attitude. Lots of love and big hugs, Leslie and Norm
Mikey,
It's great hearing how well your doing and it goes on from here. Looking forward to speaking with you soon and seeing you again (maybe on the b-ball court with your new found youth). Take care of yourself, get strong, stay positive, and know everything is good now.

Mike and Cook - you two are truly an inspiration. Keep smiling and thinking of you always. Beth
Cookie and Mike,
So glad to hear about the 21 yr old..get rested Cookie Mike will be hard to stop when this is all over and your home again. Thinking of you both and wishing you only the best of thoughts and prayers. Sue and Ron
I look forward to reading your blog daily not only to hear of your wonderful progress,
but to feel the love between two people who happen to be married to each other.
Bette & I wish you and Cookie many more wonderful, healthy years .
Love,
Bette & Zeke
Cookie and Mike,
We're thinking about you guys out here in California and sending you our love and energy to make sure those stem cells do their thing! Beware of Wii fit boxing. Pat couldn't move for a week after she had a fight... Shirley is turning 80 and coming to see us next Friday.
This blog is a great idea! We'll stay tuned.
Love, Sue, Pat, and Sophie
Mike,
This maybe a stupid question.....but are there any men in this hospital???. All you talk about are WOMAN. You KNOW, that I'm not the jealous type, (ha ha), but what's up with all these babes???
Love ya,
Denise
