Ed's Dr. was visiting when I called, so I waited a few minutes and called back.
Today's his third day forgoing dialysis and his Creatinine has been 5.9 for a few days in a row. While still high, the consistent 5.9 means the dialysis is not indicated.
Ed may be released within the next day or two, short of any spike in blood levels.
His kidneys will continue to heal on their own and he'll need plenty of outpatient treatment to monitor his kidneys and their health, as well as to determine whether or not he'll need to remain on the various meds he's presently taking.
He's being referred to an infectious disease specialist to address the P.Acnes causing pain in his spine.
Friederike was in the room, hopefully she'll update us as well.
