A little back step this week, Creatinine went up to 2 from 1.8, although hemoglobin went up like it is supposed to! Dr. is not happy with the creatinine increase, so I received an assignment and will re test Friday. Pray and cross fingers for improvement.
Lili is still skiing fast, Kelli is still working hard, and I make a great house husband.
Thank you to all who are bringing food, You do not know how much that has and is helping. It is truly appreciated.
Thanks to all,
God Bless,
Bruce

1-11-2010
Remember me?
Just to give a little update on my recovery. We have been pretty busy with Kelli working long hours to try to support us and myself running Lili around to her different events.
I personally feel real good, probably too good! I need to hold myself down to not do too much. I feel like I can do anything and I know I shouldn't.
As you know from the last entry my Creatinine has gone down substantially, As of the 28th it was 2.3 and Monday the 4th we did another blood test and the Creatinine was down to 1.8, which the Dr.'s were a little surprised about, they expect it to go down but this is a little faster than expected. it is all good. The Hemoglobin is at 10.1, and we still want that to go up.
Lately I have been suffering from Gout and having trouble walking at certain times This surprises the Nephrologists do to the fact they thought that gout would be gone with the new kidney. Oh well! its always something.
We did receive note from the donor family, We feel for them and would ask everyone put them in your prayers for the loss of there husband, father, grandfather. We will one day meet these people. That is my thought.
I have another blood draw tomorrow, I'll get the results out sooner this time...really!
God Bless
