It feels like Groundhog Day, the movie. where Bill Murray keeps experiencing Groundhog Day over and over.
As I speculated, my Creatinine level, which indicates kidney function, is too high this morning. Creatinine went up from 1.68 to 1.94 and needs to be going down before I am discharged. They are stopping one medicine to counter GvHD for the day to see if that affects it. Otherwise, we repeat yesterday and see what the Creatinine is tomorrow. So I will be here until at least 5pm on Thursday.
Other blood counts are up slightly, which is good and shows bone marrow is functioning. Another bone marrow biopsy next week will show whether it is my brothers bone marrow. But the fact that Hemoglobin has been over 10 since May 11 is a good indicator.

Am sorry to hear about the creatinine level, but am glad it was caught before you went home so the doctors can address the issue while you are there. Maybe it is just as well that you get a little extra time to continue to rest and recover before going home. Best wishes for your continued recovery! Marge
Greetings --
Wonderful news that your hemoglobin is up to 10! Darn sorry that your creatinine level may hold you up from getting home for a bit but they'll get that fixed -- such patience it takes. You and your family please know that you're in our prayers for continued healing and energy for this journey to health. Love, Judy and Paul
Heard you were singing some old time gospel last night.... did you hear that the Chancellors are coming to church in September??? Yet another reason to build up your strength..!!!! (If you need to hear some of their music, I think I have all their CD's).... It'll be SWEET!!! Have a great day resting while the Lord corrects those levels... Blessings and hugs to all!
