I only have time for a fairly quick update [due to getting packed to move], so let me get right to the labs first...

*I am only highlighting the Lymph and Lymph ABS this week because I had predicted last week that such a precipitous drop might occur. Again, this is just a normal part of recovering from a second immune system crash. It WILL stabilize as time goes on.
Yesterday was also my latest visit with the Kidney Clinic. In short, the doctors are extremely pleased with my progress! My kidney function is great, the labs are terrific, my daily BP readings are excellent and they stated that it "is evident you are getting more active just by looking at you." A fantastic visit!
Also, I am to reduce my frequency of lab visits to every other week, and my next Clinic visit won't be for six weeks. IF something comes up that is untowards, either I will call them, or they will contact me.
So, that is my short blog entry. I must get back to packing... (yay...?)
Good Health to All!
