Visited the Family in Southern California

This picture was taken on March 28, 2010, on my sister's 28th Birthday, just 2 weeks  after our 1 year Kidney Transplant Anniversary.  I am on the left (Denise), my husband (Yarid), and my sister and donor (Silvia).  My husband, son, and I went to visit our family in Southern California in March.  And now we are all getting over our colds that we caught over there.  My cold is taking the longest because I am on immunosuppressants (Mycophenolate and Tacrolimus).  I had sore gums and pain in my throat for a couple of weeks.  But now I only have a cough and runny nose.  I am still anemic but my folate, iron, and B12 levels are fine.  My hemoglobin has remained at around 11.3 for months.  My potassium has stayed under 5, and my creatinine around 1.05.  Everything is going well.
