Day 30 July 4, 2009

Our doctor is away this weekend but the doctor on call came to talk to me. We had stopped one of the antirejection meds but because of the level, it was technically still in his system. She felt since he was doing so well that we could re introduce it. That happened last night. This morning at 6 he woke up telling me he needed the nurse. He then told her that she stole his car and continued with a story about this. So the confusion was there again. The medicine was stopped immediately and we started something new today. Well, it is very quiet here at Sloan today. So quiet that the day clinic is closed. We are about 10 steps away from it here in the unit and our nurse had a great idea. She said we could go walk there. There is a nice salt water fish tank and we could look at it. It was a great idea. So we suited Cody up in gown, gloves and a mask and took a stroll. He did so well for not walking in like 30 days. I took him back in the afternoon and there is a couch in front of the tank and he and I just lounged there for about 20 minutes. He seemed so relaxed. Later when my dad came, we went back a 3rd time and just looked at the fish. He bite a whole in his lip so that was the excitement of the day. Hard to get it to stop bleeding. We gave him platelets and finally it did stop. Now I just have to watch him. I hope everyone enjoyed their 4th.
