All good news for Mario!

Mario's liver function labs were great on Monday (the other good news is they let us switch to evening timed lab draws...so 30 min prior to 8PM meds versus 8AM meds which is MUCH easier to do around work schedule). ANYWHO! Mario's results came back NEGATIVE for EBV and CMV YAY - CMV was the one he tested positive for a few weeks back. The valcyte seems to have done the trick. We also found that his Tacro level (immunosuppresent) is right where it should be after raising then lowering the dose over the last month. Dr. Horslen thinks this is because Mario's body is finally absorbing it properly. So, good news all around. I think (hope) this means we'll be able to get him off steriods soon - within the next month hopefully.

Last clinic appt, Mario insisted on keeping his rubber boots on(or as Dr. Horslen calls them: "Wellies")...so here he is naked except daiper and wellies. I will have to save this for the high school girlfriend!
