Biopsy #4

Biopsy number 4 was a success and we are officially done with weekly biopsies!  We got to the hospital at 8am and he went back around 10.  He was such a goof and always makes it a fun process.  He doesn't love going to the cath lab, but he sure makes the most of it.  On the way to the cath lab he was singing.. "24 24 minutes to go.. I'm gonna be sedated..."
He was done within the hour and I met him in the PACU.  He has woken up pretty fiesty the last two biopsies but after he eats, he is back to himself.  His pressures were slightly higher but in normal range and pretty perfect.  After discharge from the PACU, we headed up to the SSU (short stay unit) to get started on his 12 hour IVIG infusion.
We settled into our tiny isolation room for the night.  Dr Rosenthal and Nancy came down to go over his labs (they look great) and to adjust his meds a little.   Around 4am, we got his bloodwork done and we were outta there!  This was (hopefully) our last iVIG ever!!!!!
Nancy called this morning and his rejection score was 1A, which is pretty much zero rejection!!  SO we celebrated with more chicken.  They talked to Owen about the foods he puts in his body yesterday.  He has a new engine and now we have to fuel it properly.  Good analogy and I could tell him all day the foods he "should or shouldn't eat", but to have the doctors tell him really makes it click.  Today he is eating a better variety and is super excited to try new foods!!  I'm so happy!! :)
We slept in until about 9am since we stayed up until 4 in the morning.  We made our way to Costco for gas, ran a few errands and stopped at the hospital for prescriptions.  We visited with Gage and Cemaia and got to see Karla exit the building.  We are so grateful for where we are today! Tomorrow... we will pick up Carson and the kids at the airport first thing in the morning.  PURE JOY!!!
