Alison says it was another good day today, as her back pain is now non-existent and she walked 20 min. on the treadmill and did another 20 min. on the Nu-Step. The patient said she is feeling more confident during exercise and expects to be increasing both resistance and time spent exercising as the days go on.
Friends Emily and Tiffany spent time with Alison Monday night. The biggest decision of the night: whether to dine at the Olive Garden or the Texas Roadhouse!
The girls will have to rise and shine early Tuesday as Alison is scheduled for labs at 8 a.m. The blood draw will determine dosage amounts for her immunosuppressants. The patient said she expects to conclude both her 3X daily IV medication and an inhaled med, Wednesday. That means no more 12 midnight alarms to start the IV and then having to set another alarm to unhook the tube from her port!!! YAY!
Keep up the excellent progress, Alison!
Praying hard Alison, that the drugs are now going to your blood and not to your kidneys and out. We love you and have you on our minds daily.
