CT Scan

Brian had his CT scan at the hospital yesterday. Dr. Wahba just called to say that the results look good. We are extremely relieved at this news :)

Fall Fun and October Dr. Visit





We saw Dr. Wahba yesterday...still working on getting those meds adjusted after switching the anti-fungal drug...also conferring with the transplant team @ OHSU regarding the immunosuppressant regimen. Dr. Wahba also heard some funny lung sounds during the exam, so Brian will have a CT scan on Wednesday to see if anything unusual is going on there.

Ashley did not have school today, so we went to this fun little produce farm called Greens Bridge to get pumpkins. They have amazing stuff there...monster-sized veggies, gourds like I've never seen before, and beautiful pumpkins for only $1!!

Update...

Brian has officially completed his 1 year of treatment with the anti-fungal med called itraconazole (what a year it was!!). He has now switched to a lower dose of a new drug. This, of course, has made it necessary to adjust dosages of other drugs including the immunosuppressants and blood pressure meds. So...we are now in that "juggling" stage where the doctors try to figure out what will get the results they want.

Other than that, things are pretty stable..Brian has managed to avoid the yucky cold that Ashley and I have had...yay Brian!!
