Just a quick note to all of our friends and family out there...THANK YOU!!! I am not sure if I can describe how much it means to both of us to hear from you. I had forgotten about the comments part of this blog and when I got back to the hotel last night and logged on there were several to read; you all are amazing. It is so comforting to know that people are taking the time out of their busy lives to send us a little strength; it truly does lift the spirit. Thank you for all the cards and pictures, Storm and I are really enjoying them. Your support has made all of this much easier. We look forward to catching up with all of you once we are back home. Happy Birthday to my brother Kevin today (not Storm's cousin Kevin, it can get confusing). It was Vera's birthday yesterday, so in celebration of that and the transplant we had a (A, one, uno, single) glass of wine at the Olive Garden right across the street from the hospital. When we walked back to see the guys I of kissed Storm hello (of course) and the first thing he says to me is "Have you been boozing it up?" :) Yeah, me, Kerry Carl "boozing it up". Storm has so many narcotics on board the Feds are going to be sniffing him out for weeks! So as I stumble around UCLA today I will keep you posted. Storm is "supposed" to be checked out around 1100 (read 14-1500 if lucky) and we go from there. Thanks again for all the love, you may never know how much it is appreciated. Stay safe, I'll be in touch. -KM
Honestly, as much as I love this technology....my Nikon D-70 keeps corrupting my cards (I only brought two) so no pictures from me and then I just tried to download another file photo (for your viewing pleasure) and was denied twice. It just chaps me a little. When this stuff works it is wonderful, and when it doesn't I am too stupid to get around it and it is extremely frustrating!!! SO, I will try again. :)No joy....well, off to the showers and then hospital, see ya' soon.

Storm was in pain? I don't believe it. Ok, I'll give him the catheter, that must be a bitch but those little incisions - please. It must be a man thing, you KNOW how they are about pain . . .
Just giving you a hard time. I know the whole not eating, surgery, recovery thing sucks but you will never know how much you have changed Kevin's life. You are a God-send (cuz with him being a man also, he couldn't handle the pain and sickness thing :)).
Hope to see you guys Sat. Kelly
Good Morning.
Everything is fine up here. The boys are going to bed on time but I have to wake them up in the morning--soon it will be the weekend and they can sleep in if they want.
I think Kelly's comment is really funny--in a good way. It is great that she is getting her new kidney in Dec. It sounds like Kevin is feeling SO much better already!!
Storm, are they giving you any FOOD yet?? Or is it still liquid crap?? I sure hope you can eat today and get back to your normal self.
Call me soon.
Love Mom
I can't believe you were boozing it up with Storm in the hospital........no, actually, I can't believe you limited yourself to a single drink!!!!
You should have boozed it up after such a long day of worry and the relief of it being over!!! You deserve it!
I know the last few days (and weeks and months) leading up to this have been very stressful for you - Eric is so lucky to have you at his side and Kevin is lucky to have Vera there at his side. Let's not forget the roles you two play in all of this. Lots of love, support, well wishes and hugs to all four of you.
We love you. Shan, Mark, Andrew and Ethan
