Today we went in for his two week check in with the transplant team. He also had an X-ray. The X-Ray didnt look all that great. Close to the same as last time. maybe a little more cloudy in the right side up top and some more white in the bottom if that is possible, since the bottom was just about completely white before. The Right lung is less than half the size of his left.
He has lost a bit of weight, with his shoes on and jeans he weighed in at 52 pounds. I know that this is expected, but it isnt that great to see.
He was satting at about 92% on the pulse ox, on 2.5 litres of oxygen.
The good news is that he is no longer on any oral or IV antibiotics and they took the PICC line out today. Mostly since it has been in since August 4th and we dont want it to cause any new infections that could mess his chances on the transplant.
Nothing new on that end, no new offers, just waiting.
He has had this really bad itch on his bottom for the past few weeks and we cant seem to figure out what the problem is, there is nothing to be seen that could be causing it, and no new meds that could be causing any irritations, so the doc put him on an anti histimine to help the itch to see if that will alleviate it.
As far as the storm we got by ok, just alot of rain, and our home in VA was ok, just rain as well. The cats were scared, but got over it. It will be so nice when everyone is all in one place.
Thats about it for now.
