Dr. visit
On Monday J went and had the Pulmonary Function test and an echocardiogram. BOth results came back very good. There is no decline in either his lungs or heart from before the first round of HDC. They changed some of his meds around. We are dealing with some pretty wicked nausea. It seems whenever he has to do something physical or he gets hot the poor guy ends up vomiting. The dr gave him a different med a patch behind his ear that is actually for motion sickness. So far its helping. All of his blood counts numbers are excellent and he really is in better condition now than he was before transplant. Dr. Nieto is very happy with his progress. The only tumor marker that was elevated this last time is almost back in normal range so this is exciting. We are waiting on physical therapy to come out and work with him still. We had thought about changing to therapy at MDA but for insurance purposes apparently we can get more visits at home. We go back to the Dr. next week and then they will probably decide when to go ahead with the next round. We want to give J enough to get better but want to keep a short enough time between them to make it the most effective. We have a pretty busy weekend coming up hopefully it will be fun as well. This is a short post but I have to get to bed. I have turned into an isomniac. Its 2am..Roo will be getting up in 5 hours....Prayer request for this week physical therapy decides to show up! Prayers Welcomed! Kimmy
