I feel so much better this morning! I got up early and got to the hospital about 8:30. He was very grumpy again because they couldn't find the waiver he signed against being alarmed. But, they are looking for it and the tether has been taken off.

One of the nurse practitioners from cardiology came in first and when I asked why he was moved she said he should have been in this unit in the first place! That made me feel better. She said the other side doesn't monitor the meds as closely and don't seem to realize the tight schedule the transplant meds are on. 

We have seen the infectious disease dr. and the cardiologist. The CT did show pneumonia in one lung. The echo didn't show anything amiss so that's good. They have increased one of his transplant meds as his level was low. It had been a little high earlier and then they got it too low. So they are trying to level it out. All of the tests that have been done as far as the pneumonia goes have come back negative as to what kind it is.

Depending on how he continues to respond to the IV meds, and when they can be changed to mouth, he may get to come home in a couple of days. He still hasn't been able to give a sputum sample because he's not coughing as much so they may have to do a bronchoscopy. 

Physical and occupational therapy have just taken him for a little stroll down the hall. His O2 dropped from 98 to 82 when he was walking but it has come up to 94 now. OT isn't going to work with him anymore but physical is going to come and keep walking him.

So, a much better report today. Now maybe the hives will stay away!
