California Trip.....Successful!

We had a great trip to California Wednesday. Daniel had his breathing treatment (which we are done with next month) and his infusion for one of his anti-rejection meds (which I believe we are done with next month, too!) Anyhow, then Daniel had his ultrasound. THE URINE IS GONE IN THE KIDNEY! YEAH! We were SO happy! Again, our prayers were answered! Thursday morning we had clinicals and everything went well there. They have Daniel's 6 month biopsy scheduled for the week of Feb 10th sometime. We are hoping Amy (his nurse) can change it to the 13th. We can't believe we are already talking 6 months! We are actually 4 1/2 months right now. Anyhow, we were able to find out that there are no signs of the kidney forming anti-bodies against the prograf. We were able to decrease his magnesium, so we are hoping that Daniel's diarrhea and gas will decrease. NOT fun when we are potty training! I have gone thru a LOT of rubber gloves! Thank goodness for disposible. Anyhow, the doctor's only concern was Daniel's weight. He is growing taller, yet weight is staying the same. So we are increasing a can of pediasure to 2 per night in his feeding tube. Give him some extra calories. So, that was our trip! Beautiful and clear over Donner Summit! Blue sky, snow (in some spots!) and good roads.
