Not happily, but we're hanging out! Woody really is feeling better and his appetite is sort of starting to come back--he's not eating much--but at least he's starting to eat. Of course having to deal with more problems may make him lose his appetite again! They are drawing more blood, changing dressings on his pic line, starting more saline solution by IV, taking vital signs, scheduling an ultra sound of his kidneys...and who knows what else! We've seen familiar doctors and met new doctors.
Nathan, Kathy, Graham, Abigail, Joy and Esther are planning to do a bit of rescuing--bringing me a replenishment to my medicine and some other things that we have thought of that we need and we'll send back some things that we have found out that we don't need. We're just hoping that the weather holds out for them and doesn't become threatening. As Kathy said: "What's with the weather on Wednesday's?" Last week we were in threatening weather as Melany brought us to the hospital.
Keep praying that the creatinine levels start going down and that there hasn't been any major damage done to the kidneys due to the IL-2 treatments. We know that his levels were ok prior to his treatments--so know that "something" this past week has done "something" to cause these levels to rise.
