Doctors today gave Karl the green light for discharge Monday. They took out his IVs on Saturday. While his creatinine is still 3.1, his potassium and magnesium are a little off and he's still a bit anemic, his nephrologist said this is all due to his kidneys trying to right themselves. He said he was sure they will be back to normal soon. His internist also said she was happy with Karl's test results. So, barring any crazy flare-ups, Mom and Karl may be on a plane back to Michigan tomorrow -- Tuesday at the latest.
Thankfully Karl has some frequent flyer miles and is going to try to upgrade to first class so he can be more comfortable for the flights. The first leg will be an eight-hour flight to Atlanta with a three-hour layover and then a two-hour flight to Detroit. They should touch down some time around 4:40 p.m. Tuesday or Wednesday, depending upon when they depart.
I know Karl can't wait to get out of there and we can't wait to have him home. Thank you all for your continued prayers. I'll let you know when he's finally back home.
Blessings,
Kerry
