John had a good day today, he was able to get up and sit in the chair. He got a dose of a new drug to help stop the rejection process called eculizumab. This happened around midnight. He had no adverse side effects from this treatment. It will take a few days to see if we get results. There is also another drug they may use in conjunction called bortezomib. Eating and drinking is unrestricted at this point. His blood sugar is high, probably from the steroids. They are giving him an IV insulin drip. He has had some visitors today. He enjoys visitors. It has been a fairly uneventful day otherwise. Thank you all and good night
