Monday~Clinic Visit

Thankfully Steve is on his way back from Chicago with our daughter Stephanie so I am blogging tonight.  It was supposed to be a quick trip to the clinic and back home again so Steph went along this time since she is out of school for the summer.  I got a message about 2pm that they ran into a snag after his labs came back.  Steve's counts were dangerously out of wack again from the high dose prednisone he is taking so they admitted him as an out patient and started IV therapy and insulin shots.  If they couldn't get the sugar and other electrolytes under control then he would have to stay in the hospital.  This came as a big surprise since, in his words, he feels "fit as a fiddle" (he says that in an Irish brogue too which is so funny).  Steph mentioned the prayer chain and I agreed it sounded like a great idea so I called our Church and they all started praying.  They are faithful that way.  Anyway he just called to say they released him and they are on their way home, our prayers were answered quickly.  It sounds like he will have to be treated locally and they are back watching him closer again for awhile but I am glad they caught the problem and got it under control quickly.  They have used the term several times that physically he is in "an altered state of being" since the transplant.  I think it sounds like a good title for a book!  So thankful the Lord is watching over us.  Steve will probably elaborate more on the details later.  Blessings
