Judah's doctors haven't yet come to see him but Dr. Forman's Physician's Assistant Barb was here. She says that Judah's chest x-ray today looks slightly better than yesterday's. She expressed concern, however, that he is outputting a lot of urine and he has a higher than normal creatinine level. This may indicate a complication with his kidneys, so Barb is bringing in a nephrologist. Judah has great respect for nephrologists. My dad used to say that they (and Infectious Diseases doctors) were the smartest doctors around (with the exception of some very smart non ID or nephrologists, such as, Les Eber, Errol Hackner, Les Stricke, Eric Nelson, Roger Burga, Ron Andiman, Malcom Cosgrove, Sam Smith, Ralph Carmel, Dr.Nemetz, etc. etc.) Anyhoo, until we have an opportunity to pow-wow with Dr. Forman we can't tell if things are going one way or the other.
In the meantime, we are sitting here in this slightly-too-cold room talking to Judah occasionally and reading (and re-reading) the newspaper.
More will come...
