We just got the news that the PCR test came back negative!!! The hematologist's are confident enough that he is in remission that they do not feel like he needs to have a bone marrow biopsy!!! What a great day! Earlier today, when he came back from the tracheotomy, he opened his eyes. I started talking to him, and he actually smiled at me! This is the first response I've had from him in almost 6 weeks. It was so nice to see!
The kidney docs say that his numbers are still looking fine. He still does not need dialysis, and they'll reassess him tomorrow. :) This is the longest he's been without dialysis. The critical care team say that they're going to try to ween his sedatives this weekend, and hopefully get him off of the ventilator. Since he has the trache, they'll be able to disconnect and reconnect the vent as needed (ie possibly reconnect at night, or when he gets really tired).
WHAT A GREAT DAY! Thank God for all He has done for us!!!
Love,
Melissa
