Recovery Day 19...

and we are out of the hospital and into the Ronald McDonald House. I've never been more thankful for Chicken McNuggets and Big Macs... not even when I was in Europe as a missionary.

Ian was very excited to leave the hospital, and so was his daddy. :) I even got to take a trip to Target by myself to get some things we needed. Then we discovered we need a few more things. Its all good. Target is only a few minutes away.

Ian's Prograf levels dropped below 20, so his dose has been upped again a bit. Not a lot. It will take some trial and error to get the dose so that it maintains the levels they are seeking. Due to each person's individual body chemistry, there is not set generic dose that will satisfy everyone. Instead, like I have said before, they watch his blood to see if the therapeutic levels they seek are being met. The real kicker is that that therapeutic level is also different for each person. Fun stuff!

So, this means we are right into Phase 2 now (see yesterday's post). It should be interesting to see how the days go now. More tomorrow...
