Max had repeat labs yesterday afternoon that showed that his creatinine is still hanging out at .5. Dr. Ben talked to the head of the transplant program and he said that if it was still elevated that he recommended getting a biopsy. So that is what we are going to do.
Thursday morning at 10am Max will once again go under general anesthesia and will have a few samples of his kidney taken to check for rejection. Needless to say, I am petrified. It has been a very hard week and to add this on top of it is not what I was hoping for.
Dr. Ben and Dr. Brad have made time in their schedules to be the one's who perform the procedure, so that has helped ease our minds a bit. Thank you Dr. Ben and Dr. Brad.
Max will be admitted for at least 10 hours after the biopsy is done. Some how we have to try to keep Max laying down or sitting at no more than a 30 degree angle for 10 hours after the procedure. I see a lot of Handy Manny, Mickey Mouse, Buzz and Woody in our very near future.
So once again we are asking that you continue to pray for Max. We are praying for no signs of rejection and for no complications during or after the procedure.
Stay tuned for a heart breaking post about one of our fellow kidney buddies. I can't quite put my thoughts into words just yet, but I will sit down tomorrow and write it all out.
Thank you again for all of your love, support and prayers.
