John Baker Update 12/18/2011 12:36 PM

Sunday morning. Sorry about no update  yesterday. I guess we got lazy.
On the emotional side of things John is happy,  not happy,  happy,  not happy,  happy,  not happy, happy,  not happy.  Prednisone tends to give you mood swings, however things are improving. From a liver standpoint things are looking excellent. From a kidney stand point things are improving. His creatinine went from 3.4 on the 16th to 3.2 on the 17th and is 2.5 this morning. His BUN went from 110 on the 16th to 93 on the 17th and is 76 this morning. His urine output is increasing. He will continue Plasmapheresis treatments and eculizumab for anti rejection therapy for the next five days. His left arm still gives him a lot of pain but motor movement is slowly improving. His two hurdles for today and tonight is eat good and sleep good. In the study of genetic trends in our family at least on the Baker side eating should not be a problem. As far as sleeping they will plan a medication strategy.  We want to thank everyone for your continued prayers. They are much cherished.
