So today we aren't going to be discharged again. It looks like Monday at the earliest. The doctors are trying to get his prograf level to what it needs to be. They've cut it in half at this point.
Ian has a new mesh sleeve on his PICC line and it is longer than the last. It seems to be working better. I'm sure he could wear long sleeves but short sleeves are much less of a hassle with the tubes, etc.
Ian got some IV fluid today to boost his "moisture" content. He needs to drink more.....transplant patients in general need to have more water intake. We are trying to limit the amount of sugar, etc. so I bought a new cup for Ian at Target today--is a flip straw type to avoid spills, etc. We'll be pushing water on him as much as possible. He'll get another round of IV fluid later today. His prograf level is still not back from the lab--I'll ask about it after this post.
Ian has enjoyed holding his sister and likes to determine if she needs a diaper change. I took some cute pictures of the two of them earlier today but am having trouble getting them downloaded from the camera on to this laptop.
Aunt Bean is visiting today and Ian is thrilled. He hasn't seen her in about two weeks at this point. Her girls aren't going to be able to see Ian just because I am being hyper vigilant about germs, etc.
I am going to try to get more of the tape goo off of Ian today--yesterday wasn't fully successful in that endeavor. Ian likes to feel his bumpy staples and we have to tell him not to pick at them--it is ok to touch just not pick them. He should get those out on Wednesday--we hope.
