Stats

I haven't posted stats in a couple of days, they are all very good! For those intersted in numbers:

Hemoglobin: 11.5 (this is fantastic! he's typically been running in the 8's which is borderline for need of transfusion!)
White blood cell count: 18,000 (continuing to trend down)
Creatnine: 0.9 (very good given that he only has one kidney and they have done 3 CT scans with contrast--dye--since last Friday)
Heart rate is no longer on the low side (they attribute the low heart rate to the amount of fluid he had on as well as the low blood levels he had for a few days)

His fluid continues to decrease: Monday he was up to 108.6 kg (about 239 lbs), today he's down to 90.6. (about 199 lbs). What a weight loss plan!

We think today should be a quiet day; as far as we know, nothing is on the schedule until tomorrow when they do the next Interventional Radiology procedure. Good day for me to get alot of work done!!!

Love, Christie
