Day 5 Post-Transplant

Anna got moved to step down last night around 8PM and now is in D3. It is so much quieter and so much nicer here. Better for recovery when you dont have to deal with all the crazy of the ICU. Anna had many firsts today. She went for a walk today and got all the way down to the end and back. Woohoo!! She also is starting to eat more solid foods today and for dinner she ate ALL of what was brought to her. Graham crackers dipped in ice cream was her favorite. Those calories are going to make her feel so much better. Unfortunately she had to do dialysis again and she really doesnt like it cause its so hard on her. Also her catheter wasn't working so it ended up taking 4 hours until her 2 and a half hour dialysis was all done. She is starting to work with the physical therapist and is trying to get her hands working again. We are excited about her progress and hope for another good day tomorrow.
