Other than the occasional tummy issues (which are brief but intense), he's in pretty good spirits. They don't sponge bathe him here, and he's currently a very smelly little boy.
The room is filled with ten different kinds of candy that his grandma brought him. I'd worry about overeating and diabetes (which is an issue with kidney transplants), but he eats so little that it's not a problem. He likes variety, but not volume.
The lead nephrologist came by in the evening. He's optimistic that any kidney damage due to Prograf (immunosuppresent) levels would be reversible, but he doesn't know whether that is the actual problem. He hadn't met with the transplant surgeons (who gave us the previous information) but his tone seemed a little different. He's skeptical that the problem would be caused by an obstruction in the uterer, because he's seen the ultrasound and doesn't think that the small obstruction shown on the ultrasound would cause these symptoms.
