Sorry that I haven't posted any updates. Thanks for asking.
Marky seems to be doing better in the blood pressure department but he's on a fistful of daily medicines. They took him off of the two meds that depleted his sodium and then had him on medicine that increased his potassium way too much. That all seems to be sorted now.
His liquid restriction has been relaxed.
His creatinine level was down to 1.2 but has gone up to 1.82 again. The doctors say that it is expected to fluctuate. He was scheduled to lower his prednisone dose from 40mg to 30mg but I haven't heard from the nephrologist. I'll have to call tomorrow.
