Clean Kidney + We Are Home

We didn't expect to be home this evening. But I am PLEASED as hell to tell you that I'm writing this from our TV room. Pablo is sitting next to me - he's got five days of 'Max and Ruby' to catch up on, and that's precisely what he's doing!

Dr Mascarenhas emailed Jo Ann and I regarding the MRI. Pablo's kidney is CLEAN!

We've been home an hour and P has already eaten a frozen yogurt, a small pack of trail mix, half of a giant chocolate chip pancake...and he just asked for ANOTHER fro yo. This is fantastic. There have been more than a few days over the past few weeks where we have to beg him to eat. His appetite has vanished. So, you can see that a request for food is one that's met immediately.

This evening, Dr Mascarenhas instructed us to take Pablo home and fatten him up over the next week. Of course, we are hoping all this food will stay down. That's the tricky part.

I wish you could all see Pablo laying on the sofa, snuggled up under his fave blue blanket, catching up on his world of Tivo'd toons.

Most of all, I'm glad we're starting the week with good news. We'll get a good night's sleep tonight for sure.

And we wish you the same.
