Alexis has been doing so well that today the doctors said we can go home.  We were expecting to have to stay at the Ronald McDonald house for another week or two.  This is wonderful news because now we will be home for Alexis' birthday which is next week. 

We have to come back to Milwaukee on the 9th and the 14th and the 16th and every Wednesday for the next month or so.  On the 14th she will have a tube removed that was placed in her bladder during her transplant surgery.  They tell me it is a simple procedure that only takes about 5 minutes and doesn't require an incision... but they do need to put her under anestisia again... that part worries me a little because she gets upset by the anestisia.  But overall we couldn't ask for a more positive outcome.
