Labs Day

We had to go to the hospital this morning for labs and we had to wait around for the results which will be rather typical for a few months. Around 11 we heard back from Nancy with the results, her creatinine is still at 0.7 which is great. However, her white blood cell count is up even more indicating that the urinary tract infection is pretty strong. Dr. M contimplated putting her in the hospital over night for her to have 2 days of IV antibiotics, but she had agreed if Katie was asymptomatic and "looked good" that she would try treating it orally, luckily she is both of those things so we got a prescription and were off on our way. We need to log her blood pressure twice a day for a while since the bottom number is a little high.

We go back on Wednesday for the first outpatient cytogam infusion. This is the med that is to treat the Epstein-Barr Virus discrepency between my kidney and Katie's blood. It's likely to be quite a long day as the infusion itself takes 4 hours.

Nancy is supposed to call us this afternoon with Katie's Prograf level and to confirm her new prednisone does that starts on Thursday.
