Sean Monday Updates

Hi Everyone,

Sean's levels today are actually something that we can count - his CK levels are 37,000! Woo-Hoo! The doctor wrote orders that he can go home with anything less than 15,000 and is doing that as a favor to him, another medical professional. She said that they normally don't let people leave until they are less than 5,000 but is trusting him to keep drinking TONS of fluids to flush out his system if released. We are optimistic for him to come home tomorrow.

The doctor also said that she has never seen a patient with levels as high as his who did not go into kidney failure. We are certainly feeling the hand of God and his provision in the fact that his kidneys are still functioning well and have been through this entire ordeal. She said that Sean must have awesome kidneys.

His legs are working better each day. He was able to actually get his pants and socks off by himself for a shower this morning - something that he has not previously been able to do even though it was still a little painful for him. The doctor has also now given him permission to walk further than just to the bathroom and back. He wasn't allowed to before because of the risk of further muscle breakdown so we have had several trips up and down the hall and he is walking better each time.

My mom has replaced my sister on "Cooper duty" so she is holding down the fort at home.

Thanks again for the food, visits, calls, cards, and most of all prayers. We feel the love of our heavenly father through each of you.

Blessings,
Christal
