:D :-) :D

Clinic DID make me that happy!  It went great!  This week she got to stop 2 meds - Nystatin and Valcyte.  They dropped her prednisone dose down to 10 mg from 15 mg and her Prograf level was within range - that is, the *new* lower range 8-10.  No more range of 10-12.  That means a tad bit less immunosuppressed.  Yay!  She is going to start up physical therapy again because she is very stiff when she walks and now has pain in her feet.  Those upper leg/lower abdomen muscles need some work.  She is also starting up her allergy medicine again due to a dry cough that is suspected to be post-nasal drip.  That is no shocker, though.  She was on it for so many years before transplant and me, Riley and Avery all take allergy medicine, too.  Labs in 2 weeks (locally) to make sure her liver is tolerating the lower prednisone dose and.....no clinic for ONE month!!!!  "Normal" is feeling pretty darn good!  THANK YOU ORGAN DONOR!!!!!!
