Update...
I just got off the phone with my mom and they are heading home from the hospital. Blake had his biopsy and everything went well. The results came back showing that there were not any rejection cells. Praise the Lord!

The reason the doctor wanted to do the biopsy was because his labs showed that his creatinine had gone up to a 2.?something. This is not dangerously high but it is higher than it has been so they just needed to be sure he wasn't rejecting. His protein however has come down!!! YEAH! So the doctor seems to think that the Retuxin is working, and that the reason his creatinine levels were higher was due to the trama of the treatment. Blake goes back to the doctor for more labs on Wednesday and they will go from there.

You could be praying that the insurance will okay more Retuxin treatments. The doctor requested 6 treatments and the insurance only okayed 2!!! SO rediculous! Also, continue to pray that his levels will come down.

Thank you team Blake!!! You are all so awesome!
