Richard's appointment started out with being hooked up to the IV to receive his IGG. This is his fourth month in a row to do this and he may have to do it for several more months. It does help his immune system. The good news is they already had the results from the blood work and got him hooked up fairly fast. He took a nap most of the time. We got to the appointment with the Dr. earlier than scheduled and thought we would be on the road back to Enid ahead of time. Then we got the news that he had to be hooked up to the IV again because his potassium and magnesium levels were low. He was not very happy at this point. LOL
The Dr. did give some good news though. He is taking Richard off of the steroids and the next appointment is not until the first Wednesday in March. The Dr. did say if Richard started having problems he would need to see him before then. He will have to stay on the anti-rejection medicines until the Dr. is sure that the graft/vs/host is gone.
Richard will have cataract surgery next Thursday. I am ready for this. Hopefully, he will be able to see and be able to help with the driving but I am getting used to be the driver. I might now want to give that up. :)
Thanks for all the prayers and keep them coming!
