Tony Update:
I seriously hope this picture will be a scenario coming up soon; Tony back
home, recovering. Today they took out Tony's drainage tubes. The dietitian from
the kidney transplant team came by with nutrition information. There are some
things he'll have to give up, such as medium rare prime rib, & eggs over easy.
No pink in the meat, nor runny yolks in eggs. Bacteria that isn't harmful to
us, such as sushi or under cooked meat, eggs, animal products in general, are
very dangerous for Tony, because the anti-rejection drugs that suppress his
immune system. But now he's happy to learn that he must drink no less than 2
liters of non-diruretic fluids a day. On dialysis, he was only allowed 48 OZs
per day. He now needs high phosphorus food s, where before, he had to take
phosphorus binders & eat low phosphorus foods. His nurse went through his new
medication schedule, as the anti-rejection drugs need to be taken at precise
times every day for the rest of his life. We were also told that he'll be
discharged from U of M hospital tomorrow!! Best news since he got word, there
was a kidney available. We're so grateful to all of you for your thoughts,
prayers, we'll wishes, good vibes, & encouraging words of support. Thank you
all from the bottom of our hearts💕
Vickie’s Note: As of Thursday, 6:30PM Arizona time, haven’t heard whether
he was released. I called earlier and asked for the nurse’s station first,
in case Tony was sleeping. They were sleeping, or the room was dark, so
couldn’t speak with them. Also, nurse’s station said they a gain didn’t
have permission for me to discuss Tony with them. So, once again in the dark
until Linda puts something out on facebook. They don’t have their cell phones
turned on inside the hospital.
