Sounds good. My niece went threw U of M. She had two transplant. Went there since she was 2 month. She was born with three urinary track. She was only suppose to live to be 13. But she didn’t pass until she was 41. I’m hoping And praying Tony has the same great doctors Mugsy had. Her real name is Margaret. A nurse there gave her the name Mugsy. So glad and praise God Tony is doing good. Thank you Jesus.
Always know that Jesus loves you.

Tony report:
We went to our first Clinic today. This is once a week for awhile. Tony got blood draws, & we met with several transplant team members, including his nephrologist, Dr. Su. I noticed quite a bit of swelling from fluid retention, on Tony's ankles, feet, & lower legs. He's making urine, but evidently not enough to rid him of fluid retention. We want to make sure he still has good output. So U of M hooked us up with vessels for measuring his output. Tony gets round trip transportation to his appointments, & in the future, I'm allowed to ride along in the shuttle van. This will save me both gas & mileage, not to mention the hassle of driving down to Ann Arbor & dealing with the parking structure. When he's released from the rehab fac ility, we'll be driving together for his appointments. He seems to like his rehab facility pretty well. It's the only medical place we've ever encountered that serves Coke!! Not poison diet Coke either. Yesterday I brought him a care package with 3 bottles of Coke in a cooler bag. Plus all kinds of snacks, & protein bars. His hemoglobin is up to 10 now, but his Creatinine & BUN are still high. So the kidney, due to the hematoma surgery, was traumatized, & is being slow in functioning. U of M also prescribed fiber. I can't bring anything OTC, not even biofreeze, or Tylenol into the rehab center. They have to provide everything. C-diff is a very bad gut infection, & his anti-rejection drugs kill the good & bad bacteria, while lowering his immune system. He can't take probiotics. All the many supplements I got Tony on to keep him healthy, he's no longer allowed to take. Tomorrow he goes for an ultrasound of the kidney, & probably soon, he'll get the biopsy. Plea se keep those prayers coming, for Tony's kidney function to improve, & I'll contine to keep you posted. ❤️🫂
