Re: PCP after transplantation- Ruth

August 12, 2006

Ruth,

I am sorry I missed your post on the meningitis question. I have

been in hiding over the summer. We have taken every opportunity

while everyone has been healthy to enjoy life. I also was

questioning the menangitis shot for Todd...Penn State also required

it for him to live in the dorms. His translant coordinator said

that it was okay for him to have it. He just got it on Monday and

everything went fine. He was also required to have a TB test since

he is immunosuppressed...that also came back fine. Did

enroll at USC with the Students with Disabilities Dept? Todd was

able to qualify for a single room, single bathroom with their help.

Of course he didn't want it, but at least he is in a dorm with a

single room and only has to share the bathroom with 3 other guys

(which are his friends). I really didn't want him sharing a room

with someone and have the risk of his roommate getting sick and Todd

having to be in such close proximity. So hopefully this will work

out well. I sure am hoping and praying that will be able to

start USC with the rest of the students next weekend. The timing of

this does stink and I am sure she is disappointed and frustrated.

Congratulations to her for making the USC marching band...that is

quite an accomplishment. Sending lots of prayers that she will not

miss a beat (I couldn't resist the pun )

Hugs,

Joanne (mom of Todd, psc 01, crohns 02, tx twice 03, recurrent psc

05, living life to the fullest 06)
