We have been in the dr office for our appt today for so long that our numbers came back. Usually the NP calls in the evening to tell us weather Clay is high or low. Clay's red blood cells are low so we had to stay in clinic for several hours for a transfusion. try from 10am to after 6pm, luckily we came prepared with laptop and a video game.
The docs and I have decided (well the docs decided and I agreed) to change his anti rejection med. He is having a hard time with it. Not hard time as in hives or allergy, he is taking 10 pills just of the Cyclosporin twice a day so he is throwing up alot. I would to if there were that many pills in my belly. The docs want to change the med and see what he does. If the throwing up slows down or stops then he is good and we move forward. If he continues to throw up then they will do a scope to see what is going on in his tummy. They think, and I hope, that the reason he throws up so much is the sheer amount of pills he is taking. The new med is called Techro and it is much more potent and he will start out on 1 pill. Yep, he goes from 10 to 1. He asked to change when he heard that number. I hope and pray that this is what he needs to stop the nausea. He is fine all day until he has to take his meds then he gets sick. So knowing there is only 1 pill to take might make it easier. All we can do is wait and see.
So for now we need to pray for this med to work and his nausea stops. As Clay said in a prayer last week he prays to stop puking.
Love to all,
Tab and Clay
First and foremost, we are praying for the one pill and Clay's nausea to stop.
