Kevin's Blog

I am getting some heat for not keeping people up to date on how Kevin is doing. Well, excuse me, but I thought my life might be a little more interesting, but apparently not.

We spent half the day at UCLA last Friday to find that his infection is under control but his creatinine had risen to 1.6, after our getting used to 1.1. Kevin’s doctors made an adjustment in his immunosuppressant medication and wanted us back today in hopes of improvement. Another long morning today to find that it had only improved to 1.5. Well, at least it didn’t go up. We will be returning on Wednesday to repeat the tests, and if no improvement, perform a biopsy that day. Needless to say, we are praying for improved numbers in a few days.

On a more positive note, my back epidurals have been helpful and I may someday be able to wear lace up shoes again. Carrie is fine other than a rib injury which she claims occurred when she was hanging head first in our trash can. She told me she was separating recylcables but I think she was looking for something to eat. That’s  it for now and I look forward to posting some better news soon.
