The past 4 months have been difficult to say the least. After receiving plasmapheresis they left the line in his neck (his arms wont take anymore) and wound up with staff infection. His kidney levels were way out of wack due to cyclosporiene and blood pressure meds, he is now off cyclosporine and blood pressure meds (cyclosporine was causing HBP) He has now had a total of 4 rituxan treatments and seems to be back on track - I have to remind him that he was out for 4 months (in the hospital for a total of 44 days beginning in April through the end of june)and it's going to take a long time to get back. Still getting IVIG every 4 weeks.
