Hello folks! Do you all remember when last march felt like it lasted for a year or two? Well this May is not following suit. It has been a long month for us, but it is flowing through our hands like water through a sieve. We are almost at Memorial Day. May is almost over, and we are almost moved out of our house of 7 years. Under protest. But that is another story. Here we are chronicling Amelia and Her Kidney.
Amelia continues to improve every day. Her incision is healed nicely, and she is balancing out her levels more and more. She is still nauseated and dowsn’t eat very well, she says everything tastes funny. She is however, gaining weight and the dietician is as happy as she ever is. The doctors are happy too, her blood pressure is evening out and they are reducing her other medications on schedule.
We have graduated from the 2 times a week clinic to once a week, but she does still have to have labs drawn twice a week. She is looking forward to when those are decreased, she is tired of getting poked!
While we all have been moving the house Amelia has been doing as much as she can to help while still not straining herself too much. She is getting stronger and stronger and does not get as worn out as she has in the past few months. That is so good. I am glad that she is able to do more and more and does not look as sick. Another couple of months, and people will not even know she had a transplant.
Thank you again for keeping up with Amelia and her story. Thank you for caring enough to come back and find out what is happening next, and thank you to all of you who have donated to the GoFundMe….we are truly humbled by the generosity and love that we are being shown.
More to more to come as we know it, still coming to you live 47 days into this new kidney,
-Justin
