Hi Vickie, If you talk to Tony and Linda have them ask his doctor’s about him
eating yogurt and cottage cheese both have good bacteria culture. Which might
help and let them know we continue to pray for them.

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. ❤️🫂
