Day +83

Bill had a marathon day at doctor's appointments today. He is now getting an IV once a month instead of bactrim pills. He will continue this for 5 months. This fights off pneumonia. That was the first stop this morning. He then went for blood work for his appt. with Dr. Selby, then to the clinic to have his blood checked for the coumadin levels(blood thinner for his blood clot). His blood was way to thin, so we go back for a re-check Friday. Boy, that stuff is really unpredictible. His appointment with Dr. Selby went well. His counts are still flopping around. He lowered one of his anti-rejection drugs and the predisone. He should be completely off predisone in a couple of weeks. Yea!!!! They actually were fixing to take out his PICC line out of his arm and they realized it could be dangerous with his blood being so thin, so maybe next week. We are going to the OKC Zoo on Sat. morning for the 28th annual Bone Marrow Transplant Reunion. Our kids and grandkids and Martha(Bill's sister) are also going. The transplant coordinator said they are expecting at least 400 so far. What an exciting deal to be able to visit with all the transplant patients, doctors and nurses. Bill is really excited. We'll try to get some pictures and post them. Wow, can't believe a week from Sat. is Day 100. What a ride! Praise God. He is Good.
