Post Transplant Day 11

Today Benjamin got to have clear liquids!!!
Watered down Apple Juice, Jello and chicken broth!
This is another huge milestone.  The best part, it went through his system.
His new intestines seem to be moving!!
Look at this smile in preparation for a good cold drink. 




 The downside to today is that he has developed another blood clot in his left arm.  This will require another venogram and possible procedure to remove it. And they are going to remove his Hickman line which is where the previous clot was located, around the catheter of the line.  They will then put a new Hickman on the right side. Unfortunately he still needs the line for TPN nutrition during this part of recovery. 

Ben’s quote of the day: “mmm that jello is so good!”
