Not Any Worse

The good news today is Drew's creatinine is just the same as it was yesterday. It had risen by a point every day since Wednesday until now, YEAH! Drew had the Plasma Pheresis yesterday and will continue daily PP treatments for 5 straight days. The lab work they drew Friday will be processed Monday then they will know what type of antibody problem they are dealing with. It sounds like Drew will continue getting the PP treatment for a while because the doctor talked about weaning him from the treatments over a period of time (weeks maybe? didn't ask). I have found the docs don't like to talk about too far into the future. If I press them, they mumble something about a crystal ball.

Drew had a rough night last night. The treatment drained his energy so much he slept several hours afterward, then he was awake during the night. Now he is sleeping, I don't have the heart to wake him up to make him take a shower.
