5/18 Morning Update


Creatinine levels are slowly coming down (2.4), and Prograf levels are down to where the doctors want them (11.5).


After breakfast (dry frosted flakes) I dragged him out of bed, dressed him (to the best of my inadequate ability) and made him walk around the floor. He's now back in bed and watching TV.


He's got bags under his eyes. That could mean he's retaining fluid. I don't think that it's from a lack of sleep (over 10 hours a night), but it seems to happen when he's woken up before he's ready. He still has tummy aches in the morning, but they aren't lasting all day.


Thanks to Uncle Eric, Aunt Yvette, Cousin Zach, Cousin Brooke and evil parrot Pepper for the care package of comfy clothes for the recovering pair.
