I had my appointment at the hospital today. Thank God (B"H) my counts were very good. WBC 4.5, HGB 10.0, PLT 118. These are very good numbers, especially my HGB which is finally going up on its own, without transfusions. I also had my 50 mg. of Benadryl and the Pentamidine and spent most of this day napping.
As of today, I am no longer taking Prograf (the immuno-suppresant) and we've also discontinued the Entocort (protects the lower GI tract). More major milestones.
My eyes are still bothering me but there may be some small improvement. I've decided to try the steroid eyedrops again and, although I don't really feel much of a difference, more than one person has mentioned that my eyes are looking better. So, I'm gong to continue using them for a while and see how it goes.
I've been feeling very well, thank God. I've been doing a lot of bicycle riding and walking and spending very little time sitting around, watching TV, napping, etc. (except for today).
Thank you for checking in and for your continued prayers and good wishes. Believe in Miracles!
Leah - this is all amazing news - I am so happy for you. My prayers continue and lots of love and hugs coming your way.

I'm glad you are feeling better! Did the decrease in Norvasc help the leg swelling and keep your BP ok?

Thanks for the anniversary wishes, Alvin. And yes, cutting out the Norvasc definitely reduced the swelling. Although my pressure was a little high today. Love & best regards to the family.
