Update post transplant day 5 Got some good sleep last night and woke up feeling great and refreshed. . Drs made their morning rounds and were very excited on my progress and recovery. . My lab/blood work is also getting better with numbers starting to fall in the right places... my out put is still strong and I only had a few small blockages nothing major.. I am running my last bit of iv fluids and meds before they take me off the machine and Ill be free. .they were able to take me off iv saline so I now can take in my own fluids now.. my appetite is awesome and keeps getting better, now only if the hospital food got better! Lol. I am still on a renal diet so i must watch what I eat and what it contains.. that will be for about the next 6 months or could be less.. I am still retaining some fluids around operated area along with lots of bruising and swelling all to be expected and that will go away with time..my medications are still on a higher dosage and some should decrease or just be taken away. Also still having a few side effects from a few of the meds. 1 med gives me the shakes/ tremors and another makes me super itchy. Hopefully when they take me off some of the meds that will go away. My energy level is awesome and I was able to walk a bunch today and not get out of breath so easy. .I had some more visitors today which is always nice to have that one being my new miracle sister Alexandria Lawson and a visit from my cousin Michael Stephani.. was great seeing you cuz! and thank you for all the support. Its nice to have family that is there for you when you need them the most. The nurses and staff on this floor are wonderful and have been great this whole time. I have been in a private room since I got out of surgery and it def. Does not feel like your in the hospital. Now only if all hospital rooms looked like this I think people would feel more Comfortable and would heal better. I am hoping to be released sometime tomorrow if everything continues to improve and stays on track. So stay tuned for hopefully the words we all want to hear.. again I must thank all of you for the support, prayers, love and good vibes you are giving me.. I read all the posts and they all mean so much to me. Well thats a wrap for day 5. Now time to get some sleep.. much love to all!
