more numbers,...

Doctor Piper checked in with Glenn today, said that surgery was the best possible outcome. Glenn's creatinine level yesterday morning was 7.5, in less than 12 hours it was 3.5
Incision looked good so he's taking dressing off today, Piper said bandages are highly over rated and dressing was for salads,... oh what a jester he's turning out to be.
Glenn is in high spirits, no headaches, pain being a 4 when lying still but climbs to a 7 when sitting up and moving about.
Jen on the other hand is at a 7 and climbs to a 10 when she moves, so according to results, she pretty much having textbook results also. All materials we've read, said donor will be the sorest and that's what is happening. Poor Jen, but please know that Glenn realizes the sacrifice you've done. I love you.

  1. I'm so happy to read all these posts and that everything is WONDERFUL!! Last night, Scott and I were watching the country music awards show. The last performers were Kenny Chesney and Dave Matthews singing their new song together, 'I'm alive'. The chorus sings this:

    And today you know that's good enough for me
    Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see
    Today's the first day of the rest of my life
    Now I'm alive and well
    Yeah I'm alive and well

    It just made me think of what your guys are going through and how today is the first day of the rest of our lives. Thank you Jen for what you have done for Uncle Glenn.
