John Baker Update 12/20/2011 1:35 PM

Well Lori didn't get an opportunity update yesterdays events so we will bring you up to speed.
John is feeling better all the time except for his arm. With his arm we have a long road of therapy with hopes of full recovery but no guaranties. They are going to do an M.R.I. today or tomorrow to locate and evaluate the nerve damage. Gabe, Lizzy, and the kids were here to visit yesterday afternoon / evening. It is the first time John got to see Aydrien and Aneisha  since the surgery. They had a great visit.
His creatinine was 1.9 on Monday and 1.7 today. His B.U.N. 57 on Monday and 46 Today so things are moving in the right direction. He is eating better so they will take him off of IV nutrition (TPN) this afternoon. They will not do plasmapheresis today but will tomorrow and then every other day for the next 14 days
More good news is that they will able to do this as an outpatient so we may get discharged on Thursday.
Thank You for your prayers.
