8 months and counting......

Hello ya'll, Today marks the 8th month post transplant for Russ. He is doing good. We just visited the Heart Clinic and as we normally do got a good report. Russ has been having issues with his blood pressures being high some days but the doctors are watching it and controlling it with meds. His last allomap (blood work for biospy) came back with no rejection. Coming up in October he will have both an allomap and a regular biospy done so that the transplant team can compare the results. We have started to really watch our diet to help get the extra pounds off that were put on while Russ was on prednisone. Gotta love it, it makes you more hungry. The doctor told Russ that he should be exercising at least 5 days a week doing some kind of cardio so we will get going on a exercise program here now. He is hoping to get back to his bike riding soon. All and all, Russ is doing good each day. Those of you that have followed us since the beginning and continue to follow, Thank you for all the support. Until next time......
