Day +30 One month down!

Another short day at the clinic, only needed magnesium and potassium. Lisa, the nurse practicioner said that if all goes well tomorrow we may get to take Sunday off!!! We can sleep in! Hopefully tomorrow he won't require much and his counts will be good.

We're now into the second day of Insulin shots. Peter did all his shots today. I only do the ones in the back of the arms. He is finding it very complicated to try and check his blood sugar, give insulin and take all the meds he has. Some must be taken on empty stomach, others with food, or without certain foods and he still has to take them slowly so they stay put.

We went to get him a new cellphone today and of course the salesperson who waited on us was sniffling and coughing all over the place. Peter had his gloves on and stood away from the guy while choosing the phone. Then he went to the other side of the store to sit while all was being done. When we got home we wiped down the new phone and the old one, and his phone holder. You know, most of us take it for granted that we may catch a cold at some point in time, but it takes on a different meaning when a cold could do you in. We are alot more careful than we used to be and are amazed at how lucky we were that Peter did not catch anything before the transplant. I guess even his ineffective immune system held him in good stead for awhile. Now we need to give his baby size immune system the chance to work.

Still thinking about the clinical trial. Leaning towards doing it. I think the potential benefits outweigh the risks, but the final decision is Peter's.

I'm done for today! Thanks for your support and prayers.
