5/17 - morning update



Weird morning results. They've been cutting his daily Prograf dose, and his Prograf blood level is - up. They started him on sodium bicarb yesterday, so his bicarb levels are - down. Creatinine levels went down a little (2.9 to 2.6), which is good but slow. BUN is in the 30's. He's looking a little puffy, so they are cutting his fluid IV levels.



Uneventful night. He slept well. I watched soccer and rugby on the internet. Lots of really good relegation battles in the Premier League. That's one of the best parts of European sports - the bottom three teams in the league get dropped down to a lower league, and the top three teams in the lower league get elevated. It makes games involving the bad teams much more exciting at the end of the year, and turns the "minor league" playoffs into a big deal.

I was going to sign up for mlb.tv to watch live baseball, but they black-out all Marlins (who deserve to be relegated) games and the Yankee game was already over. I'm a little afraid it could be a gateway drug back into fantasy sports.

In unrelated development (except that he's a Yankee fan), the NY Times quoted my dad in an article on travel bargains. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/17/travel/17prac.html
