Today went very well. We woke up, went downstairs to get some breakfast and then took a lap around the block...Storm slighty bent and shuffling and me turning my entire upper body to look at him because the 8" tall, hard foam, hotel pillows have fused my entire C-spine. If we would have been wearing little paper crowns we could have been mistaken for a couple celebrating their 75th wedding anniversary! :) After that arduous outing we hit the sack for a nap....how pathetic, Storm and me in bed in the middle of the day, in a hotel in So Cal, no kids and NO ACTION!!! Man, we are lame! :) (Yes, my mother does read this blog....and she laughed, so loosen up.) After our big nap we headed over to see Kevin. Kevin keeps thanking Storm for the kidney but says "all I needed was a kidney; not a Ferrari!" Kevin's told us his muscles do not ache anymore, his vision has improved, his skin does not itch and his creatinine (I can't spell this today) level has fallen to two. (Normal is below one and he was a three 8 years ago increasing to eleven since I have been married to Storm.) He told us today that he did not realize how sick he was until he started feeling this great...and it only gets better from here.
Many, many, thanks to our Alaskan extended family. Pat (Storm's mom) has been caring for our boys and she told us that our friends and neighbors have come over to walk Hattie, gone to the store to pick up food, dropped off homemade dinner, called to check on her, had kids over to play, and Mrs. Quiroz (Nick's teacher) and Ms. Sylvia and Ms. Tara (Alex's teachers) have all invited Pat and the younger siblings into their classrooms to help keep Pat and the young boys entertained and involved. Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking care of our family. You have taken away the worry of those left behind and that is a heavy burden lifted. We owe you big!! Here, here to the Last Frontier, you guys are top notch! More later, much love to all of our family and friends; your support has been the bedrock. -Kerry
Hi everyone, its Storm. I'm continuing to feel better and better. The CO2 gas in my system is the thing causing the most pain, I hope that will go away soon. The walking helps a lot and that's what I'll continue to do. That's about it, thanks to everyone for all the help and support. Talk to you tomorrow. Storm

Keep up the good work, Storm! Elise and I are thinking about you and Kerry! Having a beer in your honor. Well, it tastes good and I was going to drink it anyway, but I figure if I'm going to have a beer, well, it should be in your honor...
Hope the boys and Hattie are taking your absence well.
Did you see that there will be practice bids? Thank my bitching to Lewis that only one at the end of the bid was useless!
Get well soon and let us know when you get home to AK.
All the best,
Dave (and Elise)
