Back in the Yellow stripped Pajama's

During Parkers Blood work last week, some results came back and it showed that his body was positive for CMV. When he recieved his donar heart It was positive for CMV and his body was negative. When this happens they put him on a med called Valgancyclovir. CMV is a virus that is equivalent to the common cold, but when someone that is immuno comprimised like Parker gets it, it could turn into a lot bigger and more serious things fast. So his transplant Dr. told me to pack up and head to Calgary. I had quite a bit of anxiety walking up to the unit where his room was waiting for him. In my mind we were supposed to be in the clear and not back to this place. He needs to be monitored and put on an IV drug called ganciclovir. After transplant he was on a oral med of it and it started to make him very sick with dropping his hemoglobbin and making his white blood cell count drop. So they took him off at the end of August, and hopefully now they can get his meds all balanced out. Parker is so happy you would never know that he was sick. He gets his IV meds at 9 and 9 and then we are able to go out on passes during the day. The Childrens Hospital in Calgary is wonderful but hopefully we'll be able to get home soon.
