So, I'll probably be going there instead after all. They had some kind of clerical screw-up. However, the appt was so far off that I'm going with the St. Louis place instead next month.

My son had to have pennies removed from his stomach at age 2 at Vanderbilt. They were wonderful, but then again, I'm accoustomed to small town podunk hospitals...... Glad to hear you're raising the imp right. I just discovered Whammy and LOVE IT! Glad to hear you may be getting some answers.

So presumably is your related donor.If you're gonna swap body parts it's always good to pick a good model. Bouquets to your sister for her stewardship of that kidney and her courage and caring. As for the Swel(ing) Journey part: like WC, our money is on the Rapa. It's the stalking horse in this race. We've been with it since its clinical trial days. Like all potent meds it has its Jeckyl and Hyde sides. Now that you've changed mounts, let's hope you're riding Big Brown in the Belmont and in the home stretch. A shout out to all your fans in Bluegrass-land! You are smart, funny, and persistent. So presumably is your related donor.If you’re gonna swap body parts it’s always good to pick a good model.

On a serious note, maybe we should hit up a McDonald's in Hilton Head so you can sign autographs. OK, maybe that wasn't serious. Get well...

It must be a relief to know that there is some kind of answer, and that the answer doesn't mean things are getting worse. I’m glad things are looking up finally!
