Labs

We had labs drawn today at the hospital and they came back great. Creatinine is 0.7, prograf is 8.2 (target is 8-10.) Her blood pressure was good when the nurse was here to change the dressing on the PICC line today. The dressing change was a little traumatic but she made it through.

According to the nurse, Dr. M wants the PICC left in place until we get a clean urine culture after the end of the abx, which is a really good idea. So tomorrow we need to call peds at home (the nursing service) and have them give us care instructions for after we're finished with the abx.

I'm also waiting to hear from Dr. M if she wants Katie to go back to school on the 12th when her current "certification for home and hospital" expires, or if she wants to keep her out longer. I'm on the fence. I'd like to have a clean culture before we make that decision but that may be cutting it too close since those culture results won't be back until the 9th.
