Guess who went to work today?

One Month
Here we are! We made it 4 weeks with little difficulty. Yay!! We continue driving downtown to the hospital two days a week. The last few visits have been pretty uneventful. I hope this is a sign of things to come. Rumor has it we will drop down to only one visit a week pretty soon. Today we found out… Read more »
3 week post op update
He is doing great!! We are still going to the hospital twice a week. They draw blood and tell us how to change his meds around. We’ve gotten pretty used to the process and it is now just part of our week. Jamey had been getting pretty light headed when he stood up. We would check his bp and it… Read more »
Ryan: 14 days later

The doctor takes a look at all of his lab results and all of the meds he takes and then she adjusts things. We’ve been told to be prepared for meds to be moved… Read more »
Dialysis
This is a late post. Last week, the day we came home from the hospital, I cleaned all traces of dialysis out of our bedroom. Jamey walked in the house, hugged the girls, and then went straight to our shower. I cleaned out every bit of dialysis supplies while he was in the bathroom. I wanted him to see his… Read more »
Clinic Visit #2
I mentioned last week that Jamey has to attend Clinic twice a week for the next several weeks. Today was our second visit to Clinic (or the hospital lab and transplant office). I asked him this weekend how he was feeling — and the feeling was its a long time between Friday and Tuesday when you are wondering if your… Read more »
