We had the second of many visits to the heart clinic today. As normal, Russ gave up some blood, which turned out to have nothing wrong. His numbers that go along with one of his meds are improving each time, so hopefully he will be able to lesson the amount he takes. He also had an echo done, they told us that it looked really good. There was improvement in the heart/lung pressures (though the right heart cath test shows the results better). His heart is pumping 75%, he asked why it is not 100%, Maria (heart transplant coordinator) said no one is 100%. But the normal is 65% plus or minus 10%. So Russ is at 75% which is great.
Tomorrow, he has a heart biopsy and we get to see Dr Razzouk (the surgeon that did the transplant). More updates tomorrow after the appointments.
Thanks for all the support with thoughts and prayers, they have worked.
