Day 62

Yesterday (Sunday) I just could not get AOL to post our blog! Stan is still very weak and tired,but I guess that is to be expected. I am hoping that he will get a few times with physical therapy so that can help him to build up his strength.
Today, the Doctors have told us to decrease the steroids by one pills (yay!!!) and to add another magnesium pill and 2 potassium pills per day (which is also good because previously those would have been added IV).
The foscarnet (the every eight hour IV) will be reduced to once a day on Wednesday. Stan does have some "shaking of his hands" that is due to the anti-rejection drug (tacrolimus). that is a drug that Stan will have to take for at least 6 more months--the pharmacist is great--she looks at the levels everyday we are in the ATC and if we can reduce the number of tacrolimus pills or if we need to increase the number--she will call me on my cell phone so we don't have to wait for our next appointment.
Hopefully,once some of the drugs are lessened (esp the steroids and the foscarnet),all of his blood work will even out (the numbers have gone down just a little--but not enough to worry about or to necessitate giving transfusions).
I hope I will be avle to post a blog from the apartment tomorrow.
