Journal entry by Matt Domico

From Mike:

Good morning everyone,

We’re just finishing up with a check up, two blood draws and an x-ray. 

We met with Dr. Venkata and Jake our nurse. The meeting went very well. Very productive with the following changes:
2 medications are being dropped; metoclopramide(stomach medication) and Lasix(water pill).

We no longer have to check blood sugar levels. The Januvia is working to maintain blood sugar levels. Diet regime is to be continued. 

Ann will be scheduled for a bronchostopy to check the new lung within the next month. As we near the 6 month mark, several more medications will be stopped. 

Happy Easter!
Nanu
