Monday ~ Clinic Appointment #????

Hello,
Steve and I just returned from his clinic appointment in Chicago and since he hopped on the tractor right away I thought I would make this post on the blog.  He saw the nurse practioner and the transplant nurse today instead of the doctor.  They both agreed his skin still looks pretty red from the GvHD rash and needs to continue the medications that suppress his immune system, it seems to keep the rash in check.  His blood counts were good, about the same as last month, which means he is maintaining pretty well.  They are still going to watch his blood sugar levels and determine later if he needs to go on a diabetic maintenance plan since the prednisone causes high blood sugar.  In the meantime he will watch his sugar intake and try to keep it closer to normal through his diet.  The next clinic appointment is October 17.  I know too he is very grateful to everyone for their support of the LLS upcoming light the night walk, thank you all so much. 

Blessings to you all until next time,
Dawn
