Rough Morning

Judah is having a rough day. His nephrologist has been in. He's a wonderful guy. He says that Judah's creatinine is elevated by .1 which, givin Judah's overall circumstances, is interpreted as a sign of stability. He will make some alterations to Judah's insulin levels in order to balance out his fluid output. Additionally, he has ordered a new tube inserted into Judah's mouth that is to be used to hydrate him directly into his stomach. They found some additional gastric bleeding when they inserted the tube. The blood was taken to the lab for further investigation.
Many friends have come by which is great, but our poor nurse is frazzled to the point of needing an assistant. It is her first day back from 2 weeks vacation.
We will continue to update as we know more. We have not yet seen my brother's main doctor, Dr. Forman. He typically has clinic during office hourse.
Best to all.

Dear Whites -

Thanks for updating the blog so often. We hang on every little bit of news.

The nephrologist seems to be keeping Judah on an even keel within his area. How is Judah blood pressure and pulmonary bleeding? Has that been stabilized?

Love and strength ot all of you,

Love, Uncle Robby
