Rory is feeling crappier and crappier, since his catheter isn't working very well and it is infected. He felt so bad on Monday, that I took him to the ER. CBC, Lytes were OK, but his BUN was 46 post-dialysis (high, not good). Creatnine was also high (again, not good). They added Cipro oral (antibiotic) to the Kefzol IV (antibiotic) he is getting at dialysis. I sure hope it works.

OK... Rory had the aortogram. The interventional radiologist who did it told me that Rory's right side iliac artery and vein looked really good, and that the left looked good, but there was some disease on the left iliac/femoral. When the dictation is done, I will take a look at the report myself.

I also just got a call from his dialysis coordinator, who is trying to stay on top of things for me (Thank you Lisa!!!), and keep me from going insane. She told me that Rory's nephrologist was told by the UCSF Urology folk that they will do the repair on Rory's urethra at the same time as his transplant, since "It isn't anything major... just a 5 minute procedure" (Now, didn't I say something like that before???). The only thing that bugs me about this is that this is in direct contrast to what we were told out there on April 13th.

What this means... THERE IS NOTHING TO STAND IN RORY'S WAY FOR A TRANSPLANT! (Except of course for UCSF to activate and tray list him... Please guys!!! His access is REALLY STARTING TO FAIL).
