It's My Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday and it was an ok day. I'm still not wanting to respond to anybody, but things are starting to look better. Mom and dad, Papa and Grandma Lora all helped to put together a successful birthday party for me. It seemed to lift my spirits to see all the friends, family, nurses and doctors come in to see me. That means alot. Dr. Meyers and Dr. Vanderworf came and had some cake after they finished another liver transplant. I guess that makes me important. The doctors are talking about trying to send me home on Tuesday after they take the dialysis catheter out on Monday. I am excited to go home.

Sergio is such a good brother to help me.

Day 37 Post Liver Transplant HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Dr. Book came to see me on my birthday. I was happy to see her.

Day 34 Post Liver Transplant

I Went to the floor today, But i'm still not very excited anyway. I still am acting a little depressed still, but the doctors think it might be because of some of the medications i am on that they are going to stop anyway. Cassie is coming home tomorrow from her vacation, I am excited to see her. I've been off dialysis for six days now and the doctors think that my kidneys are going to recover and I won't need it anymore. Hopefully i can go home soon.

Day 33 Post Liver Transplant

I got to go outside today. I seem to be a little depressed, but going outside seemed to lift my spirits a little. Doctors were going to send me to the floor today, but they didn't have enough room for me on the team. Hopefully I will be able to go tomorrow.

Day 31 Post Liver Transplant

Mom buzzed my hair today. Do I look excited or what?

Today is a good day. Tonite will be the third day off of dialysis. It's going ok. They are talking about letting me get out of the ICU soon and going to the floor. Just one step closer to getting to go home.

Here I am doing some sand art with physical therapy.

Here I am with my cool brother on Easter.

Day 29 Post Liver Transplant

Great Day! They decided to not do the dialysis tonight and see how my kidneys do. As far as tomorrow, we will see what happens, but things are going in the right direction. I got another central line out today. YAY! The only bad thing was that they put in a feeding tube in to give me more nutrition and to try to wake my intestines up. But, that is small compared to everything else.

Day 27 Post Liver Transplant (EASTER)

Happy Easter! Today I got my Easter basket and I liked everything that was in it. I also got up and walked a little bit and sat out by the window for about an hour and a half. Papa, Grandma Lora, and Sergio came to visit too. I was glad to see them. Sergio is going to stay with us for a couple of days, at least I will have somebody to talk to now.

Day 25 Post Liver Transplant

Having a hard day. I'm in a lot of pain so they started me back on a pain medicine drip. My pee slowed down because the prograf level(anti-regection drug) was high and it affects the kidneys. So, they are holding off on the prograf for right now. Other than that things are still heading in the right direction.

I Love my MOMMY.

Here I am with a pretty smile for the camera. LOOKIN GOOD!

Day 24 Post Liver Transplant

I got to sit outside my room today by the big window. I got my hair washed and the occupational therapy lady came to play ball with me and I had fun.
