John Baker Update. 12/29/2011. 7:45 PM

John is happy to be out of the hospital however we are still part of the frequent visitors club. We were there most of Wednesday, and will be most of Friday, and most of Sunday. His creatinine is still holding at 1.4. We need to see 1.0 or less. His B.U.N. is down to 22. We want 20 or less. His hemoglobin is up to 8.7. We would like at least 11.0. Friday and Sunday will include plasmapheresis and a dose of eculizumab for antigen therapy. The hope is that the liver will began to absorb the antigens that attack the kidney thus protecting the kidney. We still need your continued prayers.
Thank you.
