Jim's Journey - Day 31 post transplant March 31

Well we found out this morning that Jim has developed a bacterial infection in his stomach. It is called Clostridium difficle, and is not killed by hand sanitizers. Jim must wash, wash, wash his hands. He is on a 72 special contact precaution. This means he has to be extrememly careful at the clinic. Has to limit contact with everyone and has to notify staff if he uses the restrooms so they can be sanitized. He has to take antibiotics for the next 10 days. One good thing is this will NOT delay his release to go home. Yeah! We picked up Jim's antibiotics and spoke with the nurse about my compromised immune system to make sure I don't need to take antibiotics also. She stated that I should be ok.

We went to the Space Needle today. I'm glad SCCA gives out passes, because we could not afford the fees they charge just to go upstairs! We spent quite a bit of time walking around the platform. It is a beautiful view and would be splendid if it wasn't raining. I can imagine the view with a beautiful sunlit sky! Lake Union and the sound were awesome! I bought a coffee cup for my souvenir collection.
