Hello everyone....Tim is still in hospital in Victoria. He has been there since Tuesday, February 07/06 following a regular visit to the transplant clinic at the Jubilee. Tim has been short of breath and retaining more fluid. Tests done on him have so far revealed that his transplanted heart is fine, with just minor narrowing of some of his arteries. The attending cardiologists are not too concerned over this. Tim is also about to receive a new (to him) medication which is now routinely given to new transplant recipients. This drug, delivered in two IV doses four days apart, goes to the part of the brain which deals with rejection, and further suppresses it. The drug is coming from St. Paul's Vancouver. He should receive his first dosage today. Please keep Tim in your prayers and also pray for his wife Andi, daughter Charlotte and all of us in the family.
