Tracolimus goes up and high pottasium

Wednesday 16th November 2011

 We got a call from the Transplant team this morning, they said to put the Tracolimus up to 5mg it was 4 last week and that Paul's potassium levels were high, I was quiet shocked as potassium is found in bananas, citrus fruit and juices. Claire also mentioned them, I told her that he hasn't had any of them. All he has for breakfast is cheese toasties and chicken curry for his tea, he's not had any fruit since his transplant. She told me not to worry but to make sure that Paul drinks at least 2 litres of fluid a day water,tea and coffee would be adequate.

Paul is having a good day and is getting use to the changes to his medication. We managed a lovely walk  with Hayden in the afternoon. We went  into Boots ,our friend Paula works there, she was struck with emotion when she saw Paul, she was so happy that he finally had his transplant and that he was on the road to recovery. It was lovely to see everyone at Boots, they all were really happy for us both. I managed to show my grandson Hayden of too, what a lovely afternoon I had with my two favourite boys. We also went to see Mr Jolly Rodger the lovely man that owns the chippy. He was so chuffed and couldn't believe that Paul was out and about. We met so many people this afternoon and every single one was so overwhelmed and happy for us. A big thank you to you all.
