As posted last week, we were making 2 trips per day including weekends
to the Oncology Out Patient unit for anti CMV viral infection IV's.
It was great to get the Drs.' OK on Monday that I could resume driving
which Sharon welcomed the change of pace for her to have a more normal
schedule.
And, fortunately, the lab results on Wednesday showed the CMV virus
stabilized and the IV's could now be replaced with a very very expensive
daily pill.
I'm now on a one trip per day Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule for
blood results to monitor Anti-Rejection and Anti Virus concerns.
Seems like there is a different blood component each day that requires
an IV to balance out the system.
Magnesium is a frequent required booster that is common with other Blood
Marrow patients too.
I'm probably too impatient and would like to have more energy & endurance.
Compared to my former days as a runner with low pulse rate and blood
pressure my current vitals are super elevated during this period when
I'm taking all the infusions.
The Dr say it is typical during recovery process and they will
ultimately return to normal.
In the meantime, it seems I need a rest or a nap pretty often. :-)
We're just grateful for each day---taking it one day at a time and doing
only the things we have energy to do.
Thanks for your continued thoughts, prayers & encouragement.
