First (and hopefully last) Biopsy
by jeff on Jul.15, 2010, under Site News
Well, Kevin’s labs had not improved yesterday morning and by 11am he was preparing for a biopsy of his kidney. As they explained the procedure and showed Kevin the device they use, I said a silent prayer. “Lord, please make sure they don’t allow me to stay in the room.” Kevin”s main concern seemed to be taking photos of the biopsy “gun” with his Iphone to send to his friends.
The procedure went well and he had to stay in bed in the recovery room all afternoon to make sure there was no bleeding. The doctor came by at 5:30 to let us know that they saw some damage to the kidney but they felt that it was not rejection. We hope that will be confirmed when we get the final results today. We will be at UCLA tomorrow to discuss the cause and possible treatment but we are hoping that this is something caused by his recent infection and will resolve in time. I will try to post tomorrow when we have more information. Thanks for all the prayers and support.
