second full day out of hospital

things are improving by the hour. we have just done our compulsory post discharge x- ray and clinical examination and although there is a tiny bit of fluid build up, the team does not warrant it significant enough to have us come back on sunday or postpone flights. on the normal straight up chest x-rays they never saw fluids only now as they wanted them to be taken from a different angle. next week friday in green lovely namibia they want us to see the local cardiologist dr. chris hugo-hamman and also go for a chest x-ray to just make sure about the fluids. the fluid amount is very insignificant right now but within a week it could potentially build up because of the chyles effusion. so we saw dr. lynn peng again, the cardiologist who did her cath in august last year and dr. michael shillingford the senior surgeon who operated on cara and said good bye to all of them. the medical research teams are doing the first tests here in stanford to replace homografts and shunts through the groin artery, so hopefully in 5 to 15 years when cara is due for her replacement this will be a routine operation instead of another open heart surgery. 

so, we are leaving this hospital now for good hopefully and will be working on getting back to our land of the brave departing on monday and if there are no hick-ups enroute be finally landing wednesday morning. in atherton we have very bad at&t signal reception, we can see there were a couple of people trying to call and then we cannot hear them. bye for now!
