Thank you all - this is exactly what I need to hear. Had our weekly clinic visit today and asked very pointed questions. Believe me, was surprised to get some pretty decent answers. Bob's creatinine went down from 9.5 on Tuesday to today's 8.9 and this is with no dialysis - this was a positive note for us. Also, the doctor states rejection "is no longer an issue." He received the four treatments of thymo and that was all that was needed. He is on a significant amount of medicines so we are being patient and waiting for it to happen. The infection was not mentioned (I didn't expect it too, though) This is a great site and thank each one of you for your support - keep it up!
