We had a very good first 24 hours at home!  We did have to go back to the hospital for our first post-transplant clinic visit, but we have now graduated from the inpatient building to the outpatient building.  Jackson’s bloodwork continues to look great, so fingers crossed this continues!   <\/p>\n

Both he and Brady are being good patients and taking it easy.  They have been resting quite a bit and shuffling around the house relatively slowly, but they are handling the pain\/soreness of their incisions like true champs.  Thankfully there is plenty of basketball, football, and World Cup games on t.v. to keep them entertained.<\/p>\n

Now we find ourselves settling in to new routines, mainly figuring out which medication to take at what time of day and what dosage.  Admittedly, I am nervous about getting everything right so I check, double check, and triple check.  Thinking back to when Jackson was a baby, we used to have to get liquid medication and squirt it on top of his baby food to make sure it would go down the hatch.  Now, luckily Jackson is pretty adept at swallowing pills :). <\/p>\n

The image below shows what medication he took today – just his morning dose!  We do have one more round at night (though not quite as many pills as in the morning).  The doctors will continue to fine tune\/personalize his doses, based upon his own body’s needs as everyone is different.  So after time this will\/should (hopefully) go down in quantity.  <\/p>\n
