John Baker Update 12/13/11 1:35 pm

Hello Everyone, Good news! John gets to leave ICU today. We are just waiting for an empty bed. He is getting plasma foresis in a few moments and then will get another half dose of eculizamab. He is not a candidate for the bortezomib. His platelet count is too low and the particular antibodies he is making come from his bone marrow making it ineffective.
His numbers look better today, his creatinine is down to 2.6 from 3.0.  His antibodies are not less, but they have reached a plateau. We are hoping after this foresis treatment and another dose of  eculiamab his antigens will start to trend down.
He will be able to have more than 3 visitors at a time when we reach the floor, we are all looking for that.
Thank you for your prayers.
