Labs and clinic visits today:
- Add one more medicine for blood pressure. (Common for transplant patients.)
- Stop using the mouth rinse for thrush. (Because it's better.)
- Add a second liter of hydration today and tomorrow, making 2 liters each day - wow! Started that late in the afternoon due to the clinic visits this morning, so we'll be hydrating till late tonight.
- Cyclosporine levels are high - caused some potassium increase, eat foods containing low levels of potassium, come in next day for blood draw to determine dosage of cyclosporine meds thereafter.
- Got new supplies and med refills.

So glad the thrush is better, nasty stuff. sounds like with all that hydration you will be in the bathroom rather than the bedroom. Hope you get some good rest anyway. And that nurse Elaine does too. You are a good team,we have always known that.Love to you both.

Sounds like all in all the reports are fairly good and that things are going well. I too am glad the thrush is less because that stuff is not fun. I got word yesterday through David Oman, that Morgan Hansen just passed away from what they assume was a heart attack. He is my age and I used to love to dance with him at the church dances. He was a very good ballroom dancer and could really make me look good on the floor and I loved it. So much fun. I pray this will be a good day for you both. I also send greetings to Elder Hebdon. Love, Ellen
