The 1st Round of Results are in...
We just got the 1st set of results from the biopsy and they have eliminated 2 things. The good thing is that Blake does NOT have FSGS. Praise the Lord! They also have eliminated cellular rejection.
Tomorrow they should have the 2nd set of results. They are looking to find out if he has developed some antibodies and that is why his creatinine levels are going up (antibody rejection). There are a few other scenarios they are looking into but they are way too complicated to try to explain. :O)
The good news is that whatever it ends up being IT IS TREATABLE! :O) YEAH! It is just a matter of figuring out what is going on and starting to treat it appropriately. So it is just at matter of time.
Also, good news, Blake's new kidney is working great from a blood flow and function aspect. It is filtering well and has excellent blood flow. The surgeon was very pleased with the way things were going from that aspect. So once these kinks are worked out, this should be a spectacular kidney for Blake.
Thank you for your prayers. Keep them coming. They are so appreciated! Continue to pray for wisdom of the doctors and patience as we wait for results. Also, Blake's meds give him the hiccups and he has had hiccups literally for 2 days straight and it HURTS. So pray that they might subside so he can get some comfort and get off his pain meds.
Post Script to "yay!"

Awesome update! I am definitely praying for you guys.
That's fabulous Shirley! The prayers for Blake and the rest of your family will continue - I can only imagine how frustrated he must feel.
Praise the Lord! We are continuing to pray. May I leave you with a verse: "And this is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will. He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him."
May God continue to give you strength and patience for the days ahead. Much love, Mike & Nancy Eaton
