Things are starting to be real.
Tomorrow (8/7) Jim is admitted to Barnes for the day to start a Rituximab infusion. His blood will be desensitized which helps with organ rejection. Then on Friday he starts his anti-rejection meds.
10 days later is when we meet with the surgeon (Dr. Wellen)
and go for Preoperative Planning, an EKG and a chest x-ray. Blood work for the
final cross match will also be drawn at this appointment.
Wow...it seems so real. I’m certain it will be here in no
time.
Jim has been feeling pretty good. Although after each
dialysis, it seems to totally wipe him out more and more, has headaches and
neck pain. Feels much better in the morning, but the yo-yo affect is starting
to take a toll on him.
This is one of several signs we have throughout the house.
Al made this for Jim, although I get the sheer pleasure of ripping of each page
daily.
Now only 29 days....and 13 more dialysis.
Keep praying!!!
