I am so glad to hear that things are going so well.  I expect that he feels great, I know that I did when I had mine, a cadaveric transplant, that started working straightaway.

He is feeling great. His creatnine was 1.8 this morning, and they are thinking of discharging him tomorrow. He will have to come home with an IV and the visiting nurse will have to do calcium infusions for him as his calcium is still low from the parathyroidectomy he had last Monday. His blood pressure is also still high, but they are slowly increasing his meds because they don't want him to make a drastic drop and they want to find the smallest therapeutic dose I guess. They moved him finally today from the intermediate care unit to a regular floor, not that he was critical or anything ever, but he no longer is requiring as frequent monitoring.

I want him home, I miss him but at the same time I want him to stay up there an extra day just so he has 1 more day of healing and monitoring before he comes home to the chaos of 2 cats, a dog and a two year old.

I have to be up to the hospital for 10:30 to meet with him and the coordinator and go over the home care and discharge plan and learn his new medication routine. Hoping for all good news tomorrow as well.
