Cyclosporine Reduced Again!

We saw the doctor today, a little longer than we thought though. When we got up this morning he had blood in his urine. First time this has happened! They think this happened because of the coumadin. Of course, they got a specimen and sent it off to be tested and he had a really hard time with the new nurses they have training in the BMT unit. They got blood the first time, then had to give him an IV because of his blood pressure being so low(dehydrated) but the girl who tried to stick him blew the vein out. They called in the "Pros", nurses who have stuck him before, and they were able to get it in without a problem. We sat there for 4 hours and when the doctor came in she asks a bunch of questions and came to the conclusion that it is the coumadin and that if something starts growing would let us know. Then she orders 3 more blood tests and they have to stick him again! She thinks if it were a virus or bacterial he would have a fever, but he does not thank the Lord! She did take him off the cyclosporine 25 mg, so he will only take 50 mg in the mornings. We have go back Friday anyway. He goes Thursday for a pulmonary test only. He is REALLY missing working! The doctor told him next week to go to the office for half day and then skip a day so he will work on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Or we will see how it goes! He tends to push himself too hard! My mom had tests done today and she has blockage in her kidneys so she is scheduled for an arteriorgram on Nov. 5, please keep her in your prayers. I don't need her sick too! My Dad is having back problems, just hope he does not end up in surgery! I will report after we go Friday. We are supposed to just get blood drawn and then we can leave unless something else creeps up. Just pray it does not! Thank you all for your prayers! Hug your loved ones! Hugs and kisses to you all!
