Creatinine is still rising (2.24), and his prograf level is up. The nephrologist came by in the morning, and said that the MAG3 test showed that his kidney flow function had improved (from 28 minutes to drain the marker fluid 2 weeks ago to 22 minutes now). The transplant team then came, and conceded that the scans don't show any kind of impairment that would require surgical intervention. They prescribed a three day round of steroids (something we'd been suggesting all week) to treat what could be a subtle rejection. I raised a stink as to why he'd need to be admitted for three more days to allow for a 15 minute treatment once a day - especially where we've been sitting here for a week for little more than observation. After some negotiating and complaining (and with the assistance of a very able nurse), it was resolved that we will leave at 4pm each day and return at 7am. It was as pissy as I've even been at the docs.
He's lounging in the buff and proudly stinky. I plan on taking him to the comic book store later for a firm grounding in the classics. Other than that, no big plans. Maybe an afternoon bike ride and then a month of time sheets for the 2 hours a day of work I was able to do.
