Good Morning!
John is doing well. There is always alot of fine tuning and adjusting with the first week after transplant, and becuase he has 2 new organs there is even more adjusting than normal. He is still not able to eat by mouth, however they did start IV nutrition. His blood counts have been low, even after transfusion. It could be from internal bleeding, oozing slowly from the surgery, or it could be that he is so fluid overloaded that it is diluting his counts. The plan is to do another ultrasound to check for bleeding and also to limit his fluid replacement and hope to get more fluid out. Once he reaches a weight that is more normal for him we will know better where his blood counts really are. He will be in ICU for today and if all goes well, maybe on the floor by tomorrow or the next day.
He's enjoying his new I-Pad.... His arm is slowly gaining more feeling, Physical Therapy will be in to help him exercise it. It is more painful right now than the surgery.
Over all John is doing very well.
Thank you all for your prayers and support. We love you!
