Last dose of vancomycin

John is just finishing his last dose of the IV antibiotic vancyomycin right now.  He has been on the medicine for just over one month, and the symptoms of the mystery infection have disappeared. His heart rhythm and rate are within normal range again as well.

Now back to the regular business of getting the hang of home dialysis and focusing on the next step:  treating the Hepatitis C.  That treatment is scheduled for December.  It will be a nice break to have 'only' have to focus on dialysis.  

He had a rough few days with gout in his feet and hands, but that is also resolved with some extra steroids.  Overall, baby steps forward recently.  

After the HepC is gone, we will concentrate on the end goal:  finding a viable kidney donor!

Thanks for all the thoughts, prayers and well wishes.  And the muffins and sauces and crisps.  ;-)  Keep them coming!

    I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers..
