On Monday Luke went in for what I promised him would be the last blood draw for at least two months. It is always a struggle when he needs to give blood, and I always feel like the bad guy holding him down and making him do it. Well, I feel guilty no more... The blood draw from Monday showed that Luke got "almost all of his function back," and "his function is at almost 100%." We are looking at this as just short of a miracle. We knew it was possible after we wiped out the C.diff for his function to come back, but given his history we did not have much hope. Luke was definitely knocked down, but as his Aunt Katie said, "Wow, he is such a little fighter!"
Luke is still spilling protein, and we are still using diuretics to manage his swelling, but he is pretty much drug free. Luke feels great. Luke looks great. We will still test his function every couple
months, and his Nephrologist is still meeting with other specialists to figure out if we are doing everything we can. I will post again if the plan changes and I am hoping that post comes well after the holidays.
The pictures are what happens when your very smart six-year-old figures out how to use Photo Booth and has a sister that loves the spotlight...
Please continue to pray that Luke is strong and breezes through whatever may come next.
