Nathan And Harley!!

Nathan has been in the hospital since last Thursday with a viral infection called CMV. CMV is fairly common among the general population but can cause more symptoms in transplant recipients because of their immune suppression. The only symptom Nathan has had is fever. He is doing very well and he is on his second full day of treatment. He will be coming home as soon as his fever is gone. He has been feeling pretty good though, and I must say that the hospital is a pretty boring place when you feel good. Yesterday, he wanted to go and walk around and the play rooms were closed and we just could not find anything to do. Finally, we went and bought a popsicle in the cafeteria and sat in the lobby of the hospital for a change of scenery. While we were sitting there, a group of Harley-Davidson riders drove up on their bikes. Two very nice men came over to Nathan and gave him his very own Harley-Davidson dog and his very own doo-rag to wear. He also went outside, IV pole and all, and sat on one of the bikes and had his picture made. It was great! Who knew such a boring morning could turn out so fun after all. Check out the picture of Nathan with his dog. By the way, he named the dog Harley. Very original, huh?
