Matt

Well, we spent the whole day at Westchester Medical Center, with what should have been a normal 2-3 hour visit. Matt's nephrologist wanted us to get a blood draw at 8:30, then go to the office at 11:00. Sounds easy. Usually we do the office, then go to lab for blood draws. Today was opposite. First a little background...Matt's lower legs and feet were swollen on Saturday, and his pressure was higher than his average readings. I thought it was excessive dancing at the prom Friday night at West Point. His doctor thought maybe his Prograf level was too high, and was prepared to the dosage. It was too high because I forgot that he should not have the Prograf before a blood draw. It was quite possible that Matt ate something at the prom really high in Sodium, Really high! So now we have to go back down next week for another blood draw. Good news is that the swelling is down, and his pressure is also reading lower. But Dr. Weiss says we still need to be concerned of rejection, which is normally a slow declining process, and not an overnight one. So, we are going to a wedding in New Jersey on Saturday May 22. I'll post some pics Monday. Jeff
