Today is a good day!

Today is a good day for several reasons.....
1) Our appt with Dr. Malagon was great!. Brayden weighed 6kg ( 13 lb). He was 23 inches long and his head circ was 41 cm. That's 2lbs, 1 in and 1 in more than 2 weeks ago! Dr. M was thrilled. His labs were pretty good.
Na 139
K 5.0
Cl 101
BUN 63 ( little up)
Cr 2.0( little up)
Glu 119
Ca 10
PO4 4.3
Albumin 3.0 (great!)
Alk Phos 574
PTH 673.6 ( down from 1000 so the Sensipar is working)
Hgb 11.9
Hct 35 ( great!)
WBC 6

We are increasing his Calcitrol to .08ml/daily and decreasing the Tums to 3 times a day

2) Brayden got to see his great grandparents today....He puked on Grandmama but she loved it.

3) Finn, our new found dialysis buddy got a kidney today and is doing well. Another PD pt at UT got a kidney today too.


Its amazing how excited you get when somebody else's kid gets a new kidney.
