Dan's kidney function is very good due to some of meds he is on and his blood sugar being high- which also has to do with some of the meds.. They have adjusted a lot of his meds and now he is on insulin for the high blood sugar. The insulin will probably have to be adjusted as it hasn't brought the sugar down enough.
Dan is battling a great deal of fatigue partly due to them lowering the dose of his steroids. Seems one thing gets resolved and then something else is triggered and as the APN at the Ambulatory Treatment Center told us, "Welcome to the world of Stem Cell Transplant" Hopefully things will start leveling out.
We saw Dr. Jones today and he said Dan needs to walk. walk, walk. Dr. Jones also told him that he is giving me permission to kick his ___ if he doesn't get up and walk when I ask him to. I know Dan really is feeling very poorly because it is not like him to not be disciplined.
I did get him to eat better yesterday and today so that is a step in the right direction. Keep the prayers
coming so he will keep up the good work.
Sorry for delay in posting.
Dan sending prayers your way we're praying that you're over the big hurdles so now walking is the next step to getting better. Miss you & Rhonda

Kick his butt, say it was doctors orders. Know it is difficult when he feels like crap. A stroll around the lake there can be therapy of the good kind
