Doppler Radar?

Day Two went well & Hope seemed to be in good spirits & well medicated. They decided on a "no visitor day", but touched base via cell phone to report that things were still going very well.

After the surgery, Hope was moved to a special floor in Memorial Hermann where they have equipment to closely monitor blood flow in the transplanted tissue. They use a long cylinder like "pen" ~ called a doppler flow detector ~ that they touch against the skin and can actually hear the circulation. Pretty cool!
