Hi everyone, hope you all had a great Christmas!! We finally got home around 4pm on Monday. Since we have been home it has been just like the hospital, a roller coaster everyday. Bridge is good one minute and then the next she is throwing up or with shaking chills and in much more pain it seems like then when she was in the hospital. We went back to Boston on Christmas eve morning. We got there at 8:45 and were completely done with our appointment by 10am. Bridgette's lab work is much better, meaning her renal #'s that deal with the kidney are finally almost normal. The problem still is with getting the right dosing of anti-rejection medication. She is often sick to her stomach and has this all over body tremor like she is cold, but it is the medication. The doctors told us that this was unfortunately one of the side effects. Bridge is also still carrying the extra water weight that is slowly coming off, but she is about 6 pounds over her dry weight. Bridgette's blood pressure is also rising very high, so now she has to take her blood pressure medicine 2x a day. Matthew has been sick, so he has been wearing a mask in the house and I have been making him wash his hands every second, Bridgette has picked up a touch of his cold even though we have been religious with cleaning surfaces and staying away. I have to go back to work on Mon. and Wed. this week. We have blood work again on Monday and Thursday,so Mark will take her on Monday and we will all go to Boston on Thursday. We are glad to be home but still haven't gotten into a normal routine yet, can't wait to the normalcy returns. Christmas eve night was hard, Bridge was up from 1am on, she was so sick. Christmas day though was quiet and nice. We didn't go home because we were all to tired, we made a turkey and relaxed on the cough, the next day, Saturday was again very difficult for Bridge. I had to call Boston due to Bridgette vomiting and high blood pressure, Sunday though is all good, so far that is. Hope everyone enjoyed Christmas day with family and friends, have a great New Year!!! Will update the blog soon. XO Megan
