New Lab Schedule

Labs this week were fairly good. A few tears but overall he is really a champ! We got a call today that his lab schedule has changed to every other week which is great news! His prograf level was also adjusted down. Very exciting progress.

Ian keeps running into things....like the chair or the wall. Part of it is the lack of attention paid to where he is going but part is he has a new center of balance with a smaller abdomen. He has yet another scrape on his face which called for ointment--"not special t ointment" aka mederma but just neosporin ointment.

He continues to have some pain going to the bathroom and requests me to take his temperature everytime afterward just to be sure. We bought a new thermometer that beeps when it is done to help expedite me knowing when it is done.

Fluids remain key for Ian and I am pushing them on him big time. I'll say things like "take a nice long drink of water before we play wii fit" or something. Speaking of Wii Fit, Ian is very much into it now, well the balance games part of it. The penguin or marble roll are his favorites and he does fairly well. I worry about his fluids with it getting warmer here in SC. I take a snack and water cup everywhere we go which isn't out that often but April is coming soon and I'm excited to be out more.

We travel to a clinic visit on Wednesday so there should be more to post after that point.
