Update on Sam

We're being discharged this afternoon! It's been a roller coaster of events trying to get us out of here, but, finally, the Infectious Disease, Bone Marrow Transplant and Pulmonary teams have come to a consensus. Sam's been clear of fevers for 48 hours and his cough has greatly improved. They want to discharge him, but need us to stay local. He still needs 3 more days of IV antibiotics since they found pseudomonas in his lungs, and they're concerned about his elevated tacrolimus level. As soon as this level comes down, we can return home and have his antibiotics administered via home health. So that's the plan for now. A lot of detail, but I know many of you have been asking for an update.
