It was a full day of learning from the UCSF kidney transplant team focused primarily on the regiment of anti-rejection meds that will be part of Irene’s everyday life. It was a plethora of drug information: types, frequency, duration, side effects and the importance of never missing one protocol because of weekly labs to measure and evaluate kidney function. Irene will be scheduled for weekly trips to UCSF until stabilization if achieved. Early this morning she was still recovering from anesthesia and heavy pain meds but was on her feet walking @ 7.45 a.m. This evening she’s making great progress. Her liquid diet today hopefully transitions to solids tomorrow.

Thanks for caring,

Dave
