Today marks the 1 month anniversary of our original admit 3/23 for transplant #1. I had hoped we might get to go home tonight after our last dose of IV antibiotics but Mario has more funky lab results today. His potassium is high (and magnesium low) both caused by his immunosuppresion and it's effect on the kidneys. It can be managed with supplements but they need to monitor him closely until we get the balance correct. So, at least another day before we can focus on getting settled at home. I am hoping to be home on his birthday. No party since he can't be exposed to germs (sorry folks) but it would be nice to be home with the whole family together that day. One can hope... I'll update tmrw, right now Mario is sleeping peacecfully in his stroller (see photo) after a very busy morning with visits from nurses, surgeoon, nutritionist, etc.

What a wonderful birthday present it would be for Mario if he can go home on Friday - we'll keep our fingers crossed!
Love, Emma
So happy you are almost home! KR
Ooops, wrong button. Anyway, I was saying, I do certainly hope Mario can go home on Friday, but if not, I'm sure the nurses know how to throw one heck of a birthday party :) Thinking of you. Love, Jennie
We sure hope he gets to be home for his birthday!! I didn't think that would be in the cards yet but am so glad to hear it is a possibility. It will be so nice for you all to be together again as a family in your home and not being able to have people over for a while is probably a blessing to help you all get rested back up after the last month!
We will keep our fingers crossed!
Lots of love, Mary and Jody
