Kidneys, puking and more!

Kidneys, puking and more!

I’ve decided the theme of post BMT is kidneys and puking.  All things considered it’s not too bad because it could be so much worse.  For the first time the fluids aren’t making a difference in her kidney numbers which is a serious bummer.  They have now taken her off of valtrax completely, it is toxic to the kidneys, which is scary to me since it is an antiviral and well it is virus flu yuck season!  Cook’s has continued to lower her CSA which I just found out is way below the threshold set by MN so now I’m completely clueless and concerned.  K isn’t supposed to wean off of her CSA until January at the earliest.  CSA is toxic to the kidneys but protecting the donor marrow is paramount at this point in time.  I think the most bothersome thing is she doesn’t look good, John commented last night she hasn’t looked this bad in months.  She says she doesn’t feel good but can’t pinpoint where although tonight she has been coughing, puking and her temp has hit 100 for the first time in over a month so… 🙁  Like I said it could be worse so we are counting our blessings but still praying!
