Blake and Dad (Scott)
NEWS...
Today Blake had his last plasmapheresis treatment! Praise the Lord! The doctor says that his creatinine is great, however, his protein is still a little high. They will continue to monitor this and they hope it will slowly just come down on its own.

They also removed the tubes in Blake's neck today. Blake was very glad to say goodbye to those horrible things. (You can see the tube wrapped up on the side of his neck in the pictures. You will now understand why he wanted to get them out so badly.) The process was quick and painless, however, after the tube was removed and they were holding pressure on his neck he started feeling sick and had a few close calls with fainting. They were able to get everything under control and he seems to be doing fine now.
Blake's next doctors appointment is on Monday.
