The Journey Continues, Day + 27 or Day 34

Tomorrow will mark Richard's fifth week in OU Medical and his 28 day birthday of receiving his new immune system.  We are so thankful to the donors who so willing give to others.  The good news is his new system is working.

He spent nine days in ICU and I think that this new immune system helped him through that time.  His white counts and anc counts have stayed good.  Now if his kidney counts would have done the same thing.  They have been very high but the Dr. did say he thought they were heading in the right direction now.  His potassium levels were so high they gave him medicines that caused stomach distress so he did have a rough day today.  Spent lots of time in the bathroom.  I am hoping he will be able to rest tonight.

If his counts keep moving like they have he could be home in time for Father's Day!!   Now that would be a great present!!

Ephesians 5:20
