Right now Mohanish is on a couple of medicines....thought you all might want to know....
1)Ciclosporin-which is for immunosuppression and he will be on it for a year...on a tapering dose.
2)Ursodeoxycholic acid-which will aid in the liver functions and he will be on it for 6 months.
3)Sulfomethoxazole-an antibiotic which he has to take thrice a week for 3 months.
4)Amlodepine-anti hypertensive that he has to take till his blood pressure is back to normal.
5)Calcium and Vit D
He has to go for weekly blood tests and to meet the doctor for 3 months, then it becomes a monthly visit.His chromosomal test will be again next week and then after 3 months again.
At home, he is should be isolated as far as possible.There are no dietary restrictions as such but no raw foods. He can start going out gradually after 3 months, but avoid crowded places and those with many kids....he can begin schooling only after a year.
And another thing, he may need to be on desferal for a while again after a month or so. This is because his ferritin pre transplant was around 1500...so till it is normalised he will need to be chelated.
It has been a little hectic since the time he is home since we are still establishing a routine and so the delay in my mails....
Take care all of you and your love is all over our home and hearts....
