We had an appointment at the BMT Clinic today to see how I'm doing. It went pretty well and for a while we thought I might be getting the central line out today which would have put us that much closer to being ready to head home, I mean actually home as in Vegas, then reality struck and they brought in today's blood results and turns out that my kidneys weren't very happy today since I haven't been drinking enough fluids to make them happy.
So Dr. Asch came in and they hung a liter of fluids on me to make my kidneys happy and then she talked about what we have to do to make my kidneys happy enough that they feel food about taking out my central line and getting closer to being released from the the Clinic. So I promised I would drink a lot more water and other qualifying liquids and we made a new appointment for this Friday to see how I have done in the liquid department. I hope I do well because it will be nice to get ready to head for home. It won't be easy because I still have nausea and with it comes some bad taste of quite a few of the foods and liquids I try to eat and drink, but I plan on doing it because the reward is way worth it.
On another note, Amanda is flying up thursday night to spend a couple of days with us, it's been a couple of weeks since we've seen her and it will be nice to have her around for a few days, Patty will really enjoy the time with her being here.
We are hoping for a good Friday checkup and some good news that will come from that, until then, we hope everyone is doing well and having a great spring. Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers on our behalf.
