Steve
was up and walking today. Then he sat in the chair for over an hour.
The nurses were impressed. He wanted me to tell you that he got back in
bed by himself. He should not have attempted that with no one in the
room, but it shows how good he's doing. They are starting to teach us
about all the meds he will be taking. In fact, we have a folder of info
to read then Steve has to take a test! He is taking steroids,
anti-rejection, anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-bacterial...All
that is a little overwhelming. The only tiny, tiny problem is
controlling his blood sugar. Steroids can cause diabetes. They gave him
some insulin yesterday. The number has dropped today. Which is good. It
is something we'll have to watch. Hopefully the problem corrects itself
as the steroids tapper off. The doctor isn't too concerned, but I would
rather not have another issue to deal with. As of now, he'll be on 11
medications related to transplant! Thank you for interceding for us and checking on us and the boys.
