Another weekend come and gone and for the Bessettes it was extra quiet. On Friday Danny had his two month bronchscope that we anticipated being pretty smooth, but we ran into a few little bumps instead. It was an early morning procedure, so we stayed in Baltimore the night before – enjoying some take … More Weekend That’s A Wrap
I think I was naive. I was naive to think that at 60 days we should be good to roll. Now not dumb enough to think that we could be completely ready to go or Danny would be ready for a marathon – but if I am being honest, I was confident enough to think we … More Hope as Wings
Wednesday’s have now become Danny’s standard check-in days at Hopkins. Each week we go to meet with the transplant team, catch up with necessary specialists, review his medications, and get a report of what to expect at each stage of healing. Following these appointments, I will share an update of Danny’s progress, what we have … More Wednesday’s At Hopkins
Hey friends! Thanks for your continued prayers and kind words! Today already had a scheduled blog post, but as you may have seen on social media we have had some excitement with Danny, so I first wanted to give an update on our status. Blood sugars and GI trouble have been a common challenge … More ER…Ambulance…. Hospital Oh my!!!

Well that is all she wrote folks…. Dan is out! Monday was his final day at Hopkins and he was released in the early afternoon. We were awaiting to see how his stomach faired with some food, followed by what the blood sugars had to say. Luckily they both turned out stable enough home it … More Hopkins – Remix Day 8 & Wednesday Updates
Well we had hoped for an exit today…. the official week mark, but no cigar! Danny is still not eating real meals that test his body’s ability to move food through – plus blood sugars are wacky – so he has secured himself another spot in the hospital. Luckily Santa paid a delayed visit to … More Hopkins Remix – Day 7
Hey there all! Hopefully you saw the good news on social media yesterday…. the blockage is out. Throughout Friday night it seems the Go Lightly did its thing and in the morning Danny requested another X-ray to see the status = all clear! So Saturday was spent letting the Go Lightly wrap up its handy … More Hopkins Remix – Day 6
Today’s report is pretty similar to yesterday …. with the addition of Go Lightly. We approached the morning start time of 10:30 with Go Lightly, Gatorade, ice, warm blankets, our walking shoes and some big cups of coffee! We were ready to knock this blockage OUT. But we did not… it has budged a little … More Hopkins Remix – Day 5
Good evening friends! Today’s health report for Danny is pretty straightforward – we have 1/4 of the blockage that still remains. This portion is located in the smaller intestine and will require the yummy cocktail (yea, right – not even close) of Go-Lightly to remove it. The original plan was to have Danny drink that … More Hopkins Remix – Day 4
