Saturday call from Dr. M

It's not quite as bad as I was expecting when nephrology's number came up on the caller id but... Katie's kidney function still all looks good, but her prograf has dropped so we've made an adjustment to her dosage beginning tonight. And the urinalysis came back showing bacteria and white blood cells in the urine so there's still an infection of some kind. She doesn't want to treat her until the culture comes back because she's had a myriad of bacterias and giving her abx now would likely not cover this specific bacteria and would cause side effects we can do without. She's also consulting Dr. V (our surgeon) to see if he has any other advice for getting rid of these infections. She still has the PICC line which is a really good thing at this point because we're hopeful that we can avoid a hospitalization. However, we had been hoping Katie could go back to school on Tuesday and that's not likely to happen now.
