Just a quick update - Amber had her first dialysis session this morning
& it went very well. They drained 1 liter of fluids over 2 hours & she
is feeling so much better. She will receive another session tomorrow
morning. She has another 5 liters to drain but they must do it slowly
over the next week. Amber's grandma & grandpa (my parents) Thompson
arrived today from Cincinnati. Amber was so happy to see them. Grandpa
is going home tomorrow but grandma will be staying to help me since dad
went home tonight until next week. I will update again tomorrow.

Amber:
Glad your grandma and grandpa are coming to see you! We have the sun today...it's been days of rain here in New Jersey even the most recorded rain in history! We use to live on a river...I loved canoeing and being that close but now I'm happy to live on higher ground. You are never far from my thoughts and prayers. I think of you a lot during my day. Your key rings keep me on task...prayers to you! I decided to wear them on a chain around my neck...they're so pretty and I get a chance to talk about you to my friends all day as they comment on the key rings.
Abundant Prayers and good thoughts to you!

Amber had a very good day yesterday. She had some special visitors at
the hospital - Pittsburgh Steelers were doing a publicity thing to put
on their website. The 3 players who came were Rian Wallace, Brett
Keisel & Aaron Smith. My mom was with Amber at the time & said they were
very nice. They were teasing them & said "we know your big Bengals fans
if your from Cincinnati". My mom asked them if one of them were the
person who broke Carson Palmers leg! HA! They said no it wasn't us!
They gave Amber an autographed decal & photo of the team. She is going to
be on their website which is steelers.com. After that Amber got a 5
hour pass again & came to the apartment. She wanted to eat out so we
went to TGIFriday's which is very close to the apartment. They were very
good to us. I told them this was Amber's 1st venture out & they gave
us her meal for free. They also had the employees sign balloons. Then
believe it or not Amber wanted to go to her favorite store (Limited
Too) to shop! We followed her with a chair & let her sit down when she
got tired. She bought a few new things thanks to family (Darrell's
sister's Darya & Angie & Darrell's dad & Wanda) who sent money for her to
shop. Amber did so good walking. She had both her chest tubes still in
but they both came out this morning. I have not downloaded the
pictures of our first outing but I will do that now & send them to you later
today. Amber continues with dialysis & is having another session today.
She perks up after the sessions & feels so much better. Her kidney
numbers are improving with each dialysis session. If she does need a
kidney transplant the surgeons said she could have it back home. That will
be so much better for all of us. I will update again soon & post
pictures on the COTA website as well. (www.cotaforAmberN.com).
