The following was mailed to me by Friederike.
She's been to visit Ed on a daily basis and I've invited her to post at the top level but until we get that setup, she's forwarded the following post via email.
Her commentary and level of detail have been excellent; Thank you Friederike!
This morning Ed was happy and energetic and realized he was just feeling so much better and with it. He knew it is Good Friday and did not feel like his tongue was all tight up. We had breakfast together and he devoured the turkey bacon. He had slept well and his “head in the bucket feeling” had gone away overnight. His voice was clear and strong this morning. He even wanted me to open the window shades to get more light. He washed his face standing up in front of the sink and combed himself and then we went for a walk in the hallway. By 10:30 he was getting understandably tired, his mind seems better, but his body still needs to recover. His creatinine was 5.something and I was thrilled. I think in the past week it had been between 7 and 8 even with dialysis. If this is due to kidney recovery or the pizza last night or the frozen plasma he got yesterday– I don’t know – but it is great to see some progress in the right direction.
