Thursdays update

Hello everyone....It's getting late so this won't be too long. Just wanted to give a quick update. James is doing very good. He is still breathing quick but they hope that he will slow down as his new cells come in. His blood pressure is up now due to being on steroids, so he is on one med right now to lower it but if he goes above 115 again then they will add another one. They are trying to switch some of his IV meds to oral now. They did one today and added an oral blood pressure med. Let's just say...not a good idea. He took one dose and has fought every one since. When I say fight I mean kicking, hitting, spitting and screaming. So the good news is that he has his strength back the bad news is that he will be on at least 10 orals when we go home and we won't be able to leave until he takes them here. Sooooooooo we have to figure something out His cells are coming in which is fantastic we will let everyone know when he has engrafted.(the transplant took) I know this blog is short but mommy is tired both physically and emotionally. Thank you all for the cards and notes. We really appreciate them. Continue to pray for our Superman. BELIEVE Dan,Sam and James

    Glad to hear that the cells are coming in and that he is strong enough to kick and scream (even though you want him to take the meds) You're in our thoughts and prayers!

    Applesauce? I'm so glad to hear he's getting past that bump. He's not going to let a bump stop him on the road to recovery! Happy Father's Day Dan. You are an amazing father and husband.
