Time sure flies by. Sydney continues to make progress daily. It&rsquo;s nice to see her get up on her own in the mornings and not be so tired. She is usually in bed and sleeping away until we wake her up. She&rsquo;s also eating well and happy she can have avocados and bananas now. Avocados and bananas are high in potassium so she was more restricted prior to transplant. She has labs twice a week and sees the dr. once a week. They are monitoring her levels and revising medications as needed.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: start;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: start;\">I had my 2 week post op appointment today and I am healing well. What a blessing! My pain is pretty much gone and there&rsquo;s some discomfort here and there. My incisions are very itchy which is normal as I heal. It no longer hurts to laugh or cough. Sneezing is a little awkward haha. I was so afraid I would rupture my incisions in the beginning!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: start;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: start;\">Thank you to @mommapaulajoy <a class=\"x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x6umtig x1b1mbwd xaqea5y xav7gou x9f619 x1ypdohk xt0psk2 xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x16tdsg8 x1hl2dhg xggy1nq x1a2a7pz xt0b8zv x1qq9wsj xo1l8bm\" tabindex=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/paula.deraita?__cft__[0]=AZV7sGuSY8myMY3y9Pwj0Psn2WfLN5aejfAGp8MtdxVAC1faypBm4ycUnnUhu4IgIZoXRcGJAgiMGf43XJUdPwzLahIBwHJicnjkJ1mpFlhajePhADTWSR7uPbLPayzKl4R4urNxl0xW7JhhajmDr9Rbw5V5yRxTyIf1u0HsLU8e_A&amp;__tn__=-]K-R\"><span class=\"xt0psk2\">Paula Bingham DeRaita<\/span><\/a> who was hanging with us for 2 weeks and helping me with the daily things I wasn&rsquo;t able to do.
