Not a lot of change today, yet progress continues to be made. Dr. K-T continues to modify the medication plan to achieve ultimate results. Alison's doing two laps down and around her floor on each of her walks. When I spoke to her mother, she'd done three walks already today.
There's been some back pain with the epidural now gone, but she's tolerating it. Alison was happy to get the news that the thrice daily heparin shots administered in her stomach, will soon be replaced with another drug – administered just once daily.
The lung transplant patient is hopeful the first of four chest tubes might be removed Friday. (We're all cheering that you get your wish!) The team that will make the diagnosis will be knocking on her door before 7 a.m. so hope she's ready for them!
Oh, and for anyone who doesn't know ... that's Alison in the header of the blog .... she's pictured at Aunt Gail's house. I think the photo was taken this past summer before she got so ill. Lookin' good Alison!
