A CHANGE IN MEDS

Last night was rough (drug combo of  Voriconazole and Prograf), Ron's hallucinations included: someone parked a tractor trailer on our street which it was filled with men in white clothes, the men came up the driveway and stood around our cars - got in Ron's car.  They stood at the windows and stared at him all night, he saw the door knob jiggling and there were bunnies on the sofa. Someone scratched their initials on the refrigerator door.   He paced the floor all night.

Today he had a conversation with our daughter-in-law and her friend - in our livingroom; there was no one here. To convince him, I told him to look out the window to see if Brittany's car was there - it wasn't.  A snake was sitting on our china cabinet - with a large mouth and big eyes.

NOW THE GOOD NEWS

We just received a call from Beth (post transplant coordinator); she spent the majority of the day getting doctors/pharmacists together - and they have a new plan. YAY!

Ron is to stop taking Voriconazole; tomorrow he'll begin a new drug, Posaconazole, and it doesn't cause hallucinations!!!!!!!  Posaconazole is the second choice, and the last choice before IV anti-fungal drugs.

It may take several days for the hallucinations to go away.............but they are going away.

I don't know what we would do without our Beth!
