Thanks everyone, I don't know how I'd cope without your fine example! That is great news for Jenna. She was a lot more worried than she let on. Isn't it great to get some comfort news for a change. 
You're right, she was playing it cool, trying not to freak out. Yes, good news is really nice right now! |

That is great news indeed!!
I know I was feeling very tired at that creatinine level but it has to be better than dialysis. I pray that the brave little kidney continues to improve!!
