later I am leaving Mayo Hospital with a new heart and new hope for the future.
Clap Outs are given to celebrate the discharge of most heart transplant patients.
For the next two months or so, we will be staying at Gabriel House. This is the best place to stay while continuing my follow up visits with Mayo Clinic. These will take place at least three to four days a week with multiple visits each day and will go on until all the medications are fine tuned and there are no signs of rejection.

Updates to follow as the journey continues.
And now for a quiz:
Which person in this photo has NOT had a heart transplant?
Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone! Much to be thankful for! Thank you for all your love and support.

Congratulations.
Now I have one more thing to be thankful for tomorrow – your discharge to Gabriel House / one big step closer to coming home!!!
the woman with the ballcap.
Happy Thanksgiving to both of you. I’ve heard folks say they’re looking for a change of heart, but Jean stole the show here! Your tenacity and courage remain an inspiration for all of us. Best wishes and continual thankful prayers for this miracle of life.
BTW: I would choose the lady on the left as not having a transplant. She looks like one of the nurses.

The best Thanksgiving Blessing ever.

We are overjoyed and so grateful that you have left the hospital. I know your journey isn’t over, but you are on the right path and soon you will be thinking of this as just one more memory in your life. Happy Thanksgiving, Jean and Leonard. This is a very special Thanksgiving for all of us. Love you.
I think the the tall guy in the back.
That guy had a transplant over 30 years ago.
Congratulations and Happy Thanksgiving. I hope your recovery goes better even then expected.
We are celebrating your new heart and are grateful for your progress! 🦄💕💪🏻
Much love,
Tom and Heather
