Still going good......

Well, this last week was the monthly clinic visit for Russ. A little funny story, we get up to go to the appointment and head over on a Monday, get there to find out that the appt is not until the next day. Gotta love it, well that was a good practice run as Russ puts it. So, on Tuesday we do it all again, this time the right day. The visit was an awesome one, we saw another LVADer that got his new heart on July 5th. Another guy that was never on the lvad had gotten his heart also, there was a couple that the husband received his heart about 10 years ago, also a 23 year old that had a transplant when he was 4 weeks old. WOW.....we had a blast talking to them all and comparing notes. We onto the news....Russ' clinic visit went good, doctor took him off of one blood pressure medicine that probably was causing some of the swelling in the ankles and we got to lower the prednisone. Overall, we are still heading in the right direction. Then Russ did his allomap(biospy), his number was 29 (not quite sure what that means)the doctors say that if he ever got up to 34 then they would be looking at him to see what is going on. But so far so good, no rejection. Next clinic visit is next month so until then.......
