We may get to come home after
Thursday's treatment. The Nephrologist (kidney doctor) doesn't want
to
give Kerry Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) if he doesn't have to because of Kerry's allergic reaction. If they give his body a day's rest, his liver should produce the plasma naturally. The doctor plans to send him home after the third treatment, skip Friday's treatment. Kerry will go back to Vanderbilt on Saturday for another PLEX then come back on Monday for his last PLEX. The kidney doctor has to coordinate this with Kerry's doctors and get everything set-up with the departments at the hospital before we will know for sure.

The plan also includes Kerry starting
Cytoxan again as an outpatient sometime before the end of the year.
Kerrell is puppy sitting Max and Ginger
for us. Today she sent me a picture of Max curled up on her sofa
asleep with his head lying on a sofa pillow. I just love my
seventy-pound puppy!
