Updated bloodwork and It's official!!

Matt got his results from his bloodwork this past Tuesday. His creatinine went down a little bit, but that tends to happen. We did our own little experiment. I read that your creatinine can go up when you eat a lot of protein...So he didn't eat protein for 2 days and it went down from 6.1 to 5.6. Still high obviously, but interesting. But, he can't eat low protein, because you need to eat protein before a big surgery to avoid infection.

So the other news is that Matt is officially listed on the transplant list. We got the letter the other day. He was listed on April 1st (no joke!). Obviously this is still our last resort...still hoping for a living donor. Kind of a bitter/sweet feeling I guess. But at least we are getting closer...

I also found out that I am probably not going to be a great donor possibility...I was skeptical about donating in the first place, mostly because I am nervous about one of the kids having the disease in the future. But I don't think that is a good enough reason to not go through with it. But I am a B+ and apparently that is a rare blood type. So even if we go through with the paired kidney program, there are not many people that need my blood type. Frustrating....but I will still go ahead and get tested and see what happens....you never know!
