It's been a roller coaster week, for sure. Cason went for weekly clinic at Egleston this morning and his creatinine is up again, this time even higher than last week. We are very concerned, to say the least, but we are trying our best to keep trusting God's will for Cason and our family.
We had a trip to Nashville planned this weekend, but it looks like we probably won't be able to go. We are heading back to Egleston in the morning for more bloodwork and an ultrasound to look at Cason's kidney. He will likely go through a proactive course of medications to prevent rejection of the new kidney just to be safe and there is a good chance that he will stay overnight. Depending on these tests results Cason may also need a biopsy of the kidney.
We're really bummed about all of this. It's frustrating because it feels like he is doing so well and then out of the blue we are hit with the possibility that his body isn't accepting the new organ. There's a good chance that his creatinine is up because of some recent nutritional changes, so please pray that it is something like this and not rejection of the kidney.
We'll update Facebook and our blog during the day tomorrow. Thanks for praying.

I will be praying that it's just the dietary changes and not rejection! Does the scariness of ESRD/transplant ever go away?
