PUZZLED

We are still waiting on the results of Ron's heart biopsy ..we had hoped to have it already. They did find out that his cardio vascular pressures are very elevated....at a range of 24 vs normal range of 10....he is on fluid overload. They will start him on lasix IV immediately to try to get this fluid off of him. His creatinin increased to 2.5 ....not good...he should be staying around 1.5 - 1.6. The renal specialist came by and advised that the final results of his kidney biopsy showed no rejection. The initial showed possible mild rejection but the final showed nothing. Not sure what to make of this. He took a sample of Ron's urine to run a series of tests to see if they can figure out what is going on as to why his creatinine is so high and his pressures are so high. If it is not rejection we are dealing with...I hope they figure out what it is before it gets worse. The renal specialist did mention that if the urine tests do not show something and his output does not increase and the lab results do not improve ...they will have to rebiopsy the kidney. He has already had 1100 mg of steroids ....they would have expected to see better numbers today....but if it is not rejection...this is probably why they are not getting the results they want to see with the steroids. Keep praying ....I hope this does not set him back much. We were so hoping to get out of here soon.
