Yesterday was 2 months since the transplant. Scott has come a long way since then. The only tube that Scott has left is a catheter in his neck that hooks up to the dialysis machine. It's driving him crazy but it's nothing compared to tubes in his neck, chest, sides, mouth, nose and legs(and more). Even 1 1/2 weeks ago Scott still had 2 chest tubes.
Today Scott is feeling strong and positive. I think the end of the hospital stay is in sight. Scott was able to walk with just a little help down his hallway today. He got to his feet on his own today too. He is enjoying eating - especially hamburgers and ice-cream. His strength is gradually increasing and he's beginning to feel the difference. The fluid retention is also going down. Maybe it's the dialysis, maybe his kidneys, we're not sure yet. I think today is the best day since the transplant! I only expect it to get better from here.
If you want to visit Scott in the hospital please feel free to do so. He isn't as tired as he was and he really enjoys seeing someone other than me and hospital staff:)
