IV progress

I was dismissed from St Francis yesterday and started home IVs last evening. So far, so good with everything! Kidneys checked out well while in the hospital and they will re-check them Friday. No blood in sputum so far (sorry if TMI), despite being on blood thinners, so that's Huge!

Continued prayers, please and thanks SO much!

I've done OK with the second drug so far! I hope my kidneys will check out OK when they do the blood work. The plan is to be discharged tomorrow and continue IVs at home. 

update

The PICC line procedure went well and I've had one of the 2 IV meds and tolerated it ok. Getting ready for the other one. So far, so good! 

Thanks for the prayers and thoughts!

IVs...

I am scheduled to start IV therapy Monday. I asked to be in-patient at first, to see how I tolerate them, so will be in the hospital (St Francis) for a few days, then do them at home until I go to Duke, then continue with them, most likely until transplant.

I asked NOT to be placed on blood thinners, but my doctor really thinks I should be on some level of blood thinners so I don't get clots with the PICC line. The thing with being on blood thinners is that I often cough up blood when my blood gets too thin, and as you can imagine, that's not a fun experience. Lots of prayers, please, so that this doesn't happen! I feel like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and don't want it to be messed up with more complications/set backs. All in God's timing...just have to remind myself.

I will update more in a few days. As always, thanks :)
