Well, it has been a long time since Marty has posted any updates, so I thought I would help him out. Things are going along quite well. Right now he is in the hospital due to contracting RSV, A virus that small children mainly get. Most people who get RSV don't even know they have it, and it runs a course similar to a cold. (which we thought he had) He along with most transplanted people are more susceptible to RSV due to the suppressed immune system. He has been blessed in the fact that his pulmonary function, chest xrays, and his oxygen saturation's have remained good. His hospital stay is a required time of 5 days. (His treatments will be up on Sunday morning) He receives three treatments of two hours long daily. He is in isolation, but at least this time, he can get up and move around and there are no catheters(which he is very happy about). The medication in the treatment is called ribivirin and is pretty serious stuff. Any visitors can not be pregnant, nursing or contemplating pregnancy. I can't even wear my contacts in there because they could melt. He is in good spirits considering he hasn't left the room since Tuesday. He did begin to panic at first when the transplant nurse said he needed to be admitted. My daughter let him borrow her lap top (thanks to a suggestion from another transplant person) so he can pass the time with that. Before getting RSV he was continuing to go to the gym and work out. He still feels like he needs to do more, but he is realizing he has time and to not rush his "six pack" In the beginning of February, he began to babysit our grandson on Wednesdays. Jonathan spends the night with us on Tuesdays, and then the whole day with Papa. He is such good therapy for Marty. They can enjoy doing anything together. Anyway, it is getting late, and I guess I just want to thank the transplant team at St. Joe's for being so proactive and aggressive with this treatment. More when he gets home (on Sunday).
