The past 48 hrs have been very long and tiring. His kidney numbers are improving rapidly, they were down to 4.4 this morning which means they dropped 3 points since yesterday. Because of this they have put off the kidney biopsy again as it looks like his kidneys are starting to improve a little. It will be interesting to see what his numbers are tomorrow. It's amazing how much you learn by going through something like this, on numerous fronts. He is also starting to look a lot better, all his puffiness is starting to go away with some of his improved kidney function.
He had a big afternoon, as he was able to sit in a chair and brush his own teeth. He was also able to sit in a wheel chair long enough for us to push him around the ICU. He even walked a little. The tough part for the next little while is weaning him off the heavy narcotics he's been on for the past 3 weeks. He is currently going through withdrawals - needless to say nobody is getting any sleep during this process.
We have two more big tests coming up on Monday.
