And Back to Cleveland again.. .

It seems there is a pattern to these posts. Cleveland, home, Cleveland, home, Vanderbilt, home, Cleveland, . . . we are still getting more time at home than in the hospitals which is good. It is tough on Dad and Mom though. It gets discouraging.

From what I can see Dad is still heading in the right direction just not as quickly as he had hoped. It seems that most of his problems are due to medicine doses, side effects or a combination of the two. His anti-rejection medicine level has been running high and that seems to cause some shaking and just a general "I just don't feel well". It also affects his kidney function. The doctors asked them to come up to Cleveland to have an ultrasound and possibly a liver biopsy. They have decided not to do the biopsy and we don't have the results from the ultrasound back yet. The doctors that rounded this morning were saying that they would probably release Dad tomorrow. His kidney functions and liver numbers are improved, so we will see.
