Kevin was released from Duke today, yipppeeee. His creatinine levels went down to 2.8, still high but low enough for them to send him home safely. He needs to drink plenty of fluids and rest. He will certainly do that. He said it's good to be home and I agree with him.
He was able to handle 4 doses in total this time, all in a row, he didn't skip any. Not that skipping makes a difference, the docs say it doesn't effect how it works unless it's days in between a dose. So now worried there. His kidneys took the brunt of the blow this time around and just stopped working to their full capacity. But they are starting to recover now, he's using the bathroom so much he can't sleep through the night, lol.

It is true that the second round is worse than the first. I am quite sure he will need the full 2 weeks to recover. He has all the same symptoms as before, mild nausea, itchy skin, body aches and pains, his moth hurts from thrush as well as canker sores, and he is exhausted. These are all a bit worse than the last time, he has a new symptom as well, a dry flaky peeling type of skin. I think he will have to wait till that clears up before he can go into the hot tub, lol.
All and all he did great! I'm very proud of him. Now it's time to rest!
