Your kidneying me


My I.V. Tobra was abruptly and unexpectedly halted this morning. I have been on it since Friday. The home care nurse took blood from me on Saturday or Sunday. They called me and said my "levels" were elevated and then lowered the dose of the Tobra. Then I gave more blood last night and the doctor's office called today and said there was a problem with my levels still. They were actually higher than the last time! So I stopped Tobra this morning and they want to get more blood from me today and tomorrow. (Those vampires, ha ha) They told me that my creatine had been elevated since I started I.V.s. I am still taking Imipenem and I am fretting about my poor lil' kidneys! I think the creatine and the Tobra levels are separate things so even though the Tobra is halted I am still worried about my other meds, especially Imipenem, affecting my kidneys. I am keeping tabs to make sure I don't hear "ringing in my ears" and am going to start drinking more water. They also ordered some I.V. fluids to help dilute also. Please pray that if it's the Lord's will my levels will go down, and no damage will be done to any of my organs.

A nice day

Today was nice. We rode bikes in the afternoon and ate ice cream downtown in the evening. Here are some photographs that I took today.
