Day 55

Yesterday Rachel had a clinic appointment. Labs were pretty good and the ALT is coming down which is what the doctors wanted to see. Thanks for your prayers! They are waiting until Monday to decide if they will put her back on the anti-fungal meds in pill form or if they will have to go ahead and put her on the IV meds. We are hoping she will be able to go back to the pill form. The nurse practitioner we are seeing will be going back on hospital rotation next week, but she is going to talk to Dr. Orchard about us possibly leaving at the end of Oct. So...we will see. We are hopeful, but realize even if we get a yes or maybe, it could change. So we keep praying for things to continue to go well. The mobility issue appears at this point to be something that will be a struggle until after we get back home. The doctors do think she will improve and so Rachel does exercises to keep her strength up and we hope to see improvement as the months go by or at least when she comes off of the Gengraf.
Our care partner Kim came by today and we went to a mall just down the street and walked around a bit and also had lunch. It was a nice afternoon and we always enjoy visiting with Kim.
We are planning on going to church on Sunday so we are looking forward to that. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
