Good Morning
John had an ok night. This morning his creatinine and B.U.N. was the same as yesterday, which is good they are not up. His antibody levels were down 15% which is good. They will continue plasmapheresis for the next seven days with a dose of eculizumab following. We are hoping for a reduction in antibodies through this process. His liver lab numbers are doing good. The liver is continuing to progress towards full function. In theory it should help protect the kidney from rejection damage. His blood counts are in the ok range, they should improve with time. He is back on solid foods with talk of IV TPN to supplement nutrition. His liquids are taken in orally and IV. Neurology looked at his left arm this morning. their thought is that his arm will recover over time with much therapy. They may do an MRI to see if there is pressure on the nerves still but I will hear from them later on that. I have persuaded them to do therapy every day instead of two or three days a week.
Thank you.
