We have started the count down with less than a week to go. Geoff and I have been traveling for the last 2 weeks. We spent a week with his family (so nice) in Palm Desert over Thanksgiving, and then the last week and a half in Colorado just spending time with friends and snowboarding. We have been in Boulder, Vail and now Telluride, and will be driving to Denver on Saturday (long drive) to fly out to Minnesota on Sunday. Geoff has been a great travel companion... we have had so much fun.
Monday is a really big day... all day at the hospital re-doing almost all of the medical tests including cross matching. We will meet the surgical team, nursing staff, and support staff. We will get to become familiar with where every thing is and so on. I will be fed a light lunch at 2pm and then only liquids until after surgery on the following day.
I had a nice long conversation last week with my Surgeon (Dr Dunn). I feel very comfortable with her. She has been doing this for a long time, and besides having a great track record she is also an excellent communicator. (I am so thankful for that!)
So I guess we will round the final corner soon. Just wanted to give a quick update on the little happenings along the way. I am feeling just as I did in the beginning... like this is meant to be. I feel very confidant that all things will go smoothly. I have appreciated all of your love and support.

Just came across your blog, actually came across Lee's first. It's a great thing you're doing! Though you're not a religious person, I'll still pray that all goes well for you all.
Aloha,
P.S. Lee says it's cold in MN. I too much rather be back on the islands with family, but I'm stuck in Texas!
will be sending you all the energy love and blessing I've got dear...will look to hear from you here. You are amazing...love and light to you...Namaste'
Erica, This is one of many attempts to leave a message. I am not sure if this one will get through... something funny: Derek asked me "When are we going to see Erica's ocean again, mamma?" Your kind and given spirit matches none. We love you - the Helledy's (Kihle)
