.3, 2,400 and 6

Max had labs drawn last week and his creatinine has come down from .4 to .3.  They also did a test called a Cystatin C which is another test that measures kidney function.  He has had a few of these done but this one came back the highest it's every been at 74.  To make that a little more clear- this level was at 6 or 8 while he was on dialysis and in the 40s while he was rejecting his kidney so for it to be at 74 means that Max's kidney function has improved dramatically over the past few months.  Dr. Ben got a fist pump from Dr. G for this.  I love it!

Max also had a level of the antibody that was attacking his kidney taken.  That number started at 11,000.  It is now at 2,400.  He doesn't need to have this level checked for a few months unless his creatinine does funny things again.  This makes all of us very happy :)

We are also celebrating Max's 6 month kidneyversary.  It blows us all away how far he has come over the past 6 months.  It's amazing.  He learns something new every day and you can tell that his little wheels are turning at all times.  He makes my heart smile.

I apologize for not posting in awhile.  I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Here are a few pictures of Max from over the past few weeks.  Have a great week everyone!

This is what you get when he doesn't nap and it's getting to be around bedtime :) I love it.
