Near 9:00 pm Thursday evening. Still at Tulane. Results of medical tests have been less than encouraging. The kidney markers continue to show little improvement since yesterday. With each passing hour it looks more and more like the chemo has impaired my kidney functions. The term used most often is acute renal failure. Tests indicate today that my kidneys have about 20% of normal function. They are still running the fluids through me and watching. We don't know what options will be available, except if the kidney functions don't return, the BMT is totally out of the question. It has been an emotional, depressing, roller coaster day. Terry and Vallie are here with us. They drove in from Baton Rouge and getting TARA settled in .Pray for us and the strength to continue the fight.
