the waiting game

We are still stuck in Minneapolis for a couple more days because the doctors are a hesitant to let me leave. My numbers have slowly got a bit worse so they are starting to be a little conerned about rejection. My normal creatinine level shoudl be around 1.0-1.5. I am currently running around a 2.3 that is up from a 1.8 last week. They do think part of it is due to major dehydration that I have had because of the flu so they gave me two liters of IV fluids today to see if it helps anything. It definitely made me feel a lot better that is for sure. Tomorrow we will go back to the doctor for what we hope is the last time for a couple weeks. If everything is good they will allow me to head to my parents house in Duluth which is about 2.5 hours away. If not they will do a biopsy (go in and take out a chunk) of the kidney and test it to see its function. Tomorrow is a big day, everyone keep their fingers crossed. Happy New Year if I dont get back to this in the next couple of days.
