We're Home!

Luke was released from the hospital yesterday.  He was thrilled to go straight to Nee's (Grandma's) House  to see his cousin, Nicholas, who is in town from California.  What a great way to forget about the hospital and just play and have fun!

His belly went way down an his knees and ankles are completely free of any swelling or bloating.  His eyes were still pretty swollen when we left the hospital, but we are continuing the diuretic treatments at home, and have already seen some improvement in his eyes this morning.

Luke is still relapsing, but we are giving the Cell Cept a good 6 month trial, so we may be dealing with swelling and bloating for a while, as we pray that the Cell Cept will put Luke into remission.  We will be following up with the Nephrologist on Wednesday, and I will post again at that time.

Luke is so happy to be home, and we are hoping that any future swelling will not land us back in the hospital and can be dealt with at home.

Please pray that Luke will continue to be strong and breeze through whatever may come next.
