The day was spent watching TV and snacking. Water was guzzled the night before and in the morning – no tears this time around – IV went in smoothly on the first try. It was a good day (good for a 6-hr infusion).
I read some of an archaeology magazine to Zayne (we have a subscription), but after an hour it was time for TV and pizza for breakfast.
All the numbers were good (not better, but not worse). No donor antibodies. Heart failure indicator (BNP) still holding in the 800s. Heart rate still in the 130s. No change in echo or EKG.
No stomach issues this time around.
Last week there was some unexplained bad joint pain. Some extra tests showed nothing. Fingers crossed that joint pain doesn’t return.
