No new changes...
My creatinine is 4.9 so we will continue with the fluids and hopefully my kidneys are on the way to healing. I return on Friday for repeat labs and hopefully the cr level will finally start coming down. I connected myself to the IV pump without difficulty, which was really good as they forgot to send any instructions with it. My homecare nurse told me how to add a new bag and reprogram the pump. It really was quite easy. Just the same it better once you have hands on experience. Sylvia is going to stop at a health food store tomorrow and try to get me the Papaya juice that was recommended to help lower the cr level.

Hi Aunt Evelyn,
The news today is more encouraging! I'm sorry to hear that your treatment had to be delayed a month. Hopefully the new juice will help get your kidneys functioning properly again. It is so neat that this blog gives you access to people who have already been through this and they can give you advise. As always, you are in my prayers.
Love Connie
