Jim's Journey - Day 29 post transplant March 29

We received a call first thing this morning. Jera, Jim's scheduler, wanted to know if we could make it in at 9:45 this morning instead of 2:00pm this afternoon. No problem. We actually like morning appointments so we can go out and do something if Jim is up to it.

We ask for our new schedule when we arrive. Jim's hopes of going home this weekend are dashed. We have appointments the rest of the week, and thru next Wednesday April 6th.

We meet with the Physician's Assistant, Tamarind. Jim's numbers are still very good, but he has been feeling a little queasy the past few mornings. They suggest we stop the Zofran and start taking one of the other nausea meds, or Maalox.

While talking with the Nutritionist, Jim brings up the feeling and we start to discuss his diagnosis of Meniere's Disease. A problem with fluid in his inner ear. The nutritionist suggests a low sodium diet so that he does not retain fluids.
