John Baker Update 12/23/2011 10:15 AM

Good morning.
John had a reasonably good night and slept well.
His arm pain is decreasing for the most part and motor movement is increasing.
His creatinine is back down to 1.6 from 1.8 yesterday. His B.U.N. went down to 34 which is an awesome move in the right direction.
His hemoglobin is up to 7.3 from 7.2 westerday. Yesterday they started him on darbepoetin alfa, (commonly called darbe and otherwise known as aranesp,) instead of epoetin.  Darbe is a synthetic version of epo.
We will not be discharged till at least Monday as he still has to many things that need watched.
We love you all and Thank You for your support and prayers.
