Clinic Visit News

Ian had a fabulous clinic visit complete with getting his flu shot. (This is an extra bonus for me as I won't have to take him and wait in the ped's office here for an hour occupying both kiddos!)

He is growing and doing well on all accounts. The staff I think are all smitten by him but who wouldn't be right? He managed to get a special Thomas the Train engine from one of the doctors there. We are touched she remembers Ian so well to know that he adores Thomas.

The big news is that we are cleared for 6 months before needing to head back for clinic visit. This is exciting stuff! He would have been cleared for a year but because the doctors just changed his prograf level and are still keeping an eye on his EBV (viral that is still showing up in low level of his labs) so the team feels safer at having him come back in 6 months. Again, I am thrilled.

And for a bit of history, the end of this month (October 2005) five years ago marks our first ever visit with the CHOA team to get Ian evaluated and listed for transplant.
