With all the good news about Avi's recovery they decided he does not need any longer the special tender care of the Red Team. So today was his last visit there – his numbers are good and rising, the levels of the anti-rejection drugs were tweaked some more, and he was declared to be recovered enough to start going to the regular clinic starting on Tuesday. So, barring any unforeseen changes, he will have to come in twice a week – alternating between seeing the transplant doctor and the nurse practitioner. Every such visit will focus on blood tests and the occasional treatment (infusions and other medications) as needed, but now the infusions will be in a general infusion center and not in one dedicated to transplant patients. This is an exciting graduation and we are very thankful to the lovely dedicated team (we will surely still bump into them occasionally – all the treatment suites are on the same floor and the nurses do occasionally shift from one treatment suite to the other).
It's been two days since Eyal left us, and the apartment seems quite empty. But that will be rectified tomorrow when Yuval and Vivian arrive, to be followed by Avi's brother Oded on Thursday (this year we will have an uncharacteristically tiny Thanksgiving dinner – just the 3 of us, but we are thankful!).
Yesterday we took a very long walk in Central Park (2.5 miles!). Avi enjoyed taking his mask off and breathing in unfiltered air. No photos though, so a photo of Einat, Tamar and Nuri instead...
