Still in the hospital, but things are looking better. Terry's hemoglobin is going up, blood pressure is going up, creatinine clearance is coming down. These are all good signs! There are a bunch of possibilities to Terry's current renal status. The most likely are:acute volume depression (which is reversible), a side effect to Diovan (which is reversible), myeloma kidney (which can be treated). We are hoping the problem is caused by one of the first two mentioned. There are other possibilities but they seem remote at this time. In the meantime we wait for the results of many tests that have been done.
She looks really good tonight compared to the past two days. Her color is back as is her mental acuity. We aren't sure how many more days she will be hospitalized but I'll keep you posted.
Keep up the good thoughts!

Hi Dick,
Please give our regards to Terry. Hopefully this is nothing too serious and she will be home within a couple of days. Jim
