Tune Up

We had a scheduled day at the transplant clinic on Thursday, 11/20. Alan was in for a "tune up" as they called it. All of the liver counts are great. The other ones that are impacted by the medications are a little off. Potassium - high, magnesium - low, creatinin - high, but lower than it was, anemic - so he needed a shot for red blood cell production. There were some other things askew, but those are the ones that seem to be getting the most attention.

The follow up care is amazing. We have no questions that go unanswered. They are continually reading his labs. He may be scheduled for another tune up next week as well. This is a four - five hour IV drip with some shots thrown in for good measure.

It's a relaxing room. The staff is great, and the care is phenomenal.

We'll be heading out for labs in the morning and then moving into the next apartment. For the next month and a half or so he can receive mail either at A's, or 7811 Grand Estates Street, Apt. 1217, Raleigh, NC 27617

Alan's brother has opened his schedule for the next few weeks, so I'll be heading home on Wednesday 11/26 and back to NC on 12/17. Tom will stay with Alan for most of that time.

He's not cleared to drive yet, and is walking distance to Super WalMart, Panera Bread, his daughters, Starbucks, etc. so hopefully everything will go smoothly.
