Update on Doug

Fingers, Toes, Etc. Crossed
Doug's body is fighting the kidney a little bit. It goes to figure, as he has rarely shown much interest in any of my things. The doctors are not overly worried. It's partly due to Doug's young, healthy immune system. So they're doing what they can to destroy that. No, no, just to fool it. They have started some treatments that are already showing promise, but take some time. Thursday now looks like the earliest that he could be released. This is all assuming that this is the "easy" kind of rejection to overcome, which is indeed what all signs point to. When we left the hospital today the biopsy results had not yet come back definitively stating this. Hence all the crossing of digits mentioned above.

I must say that Doug looks great. He continues to get stronger and is moving around quite well. I suppose I should wait until we're out of the woods to start teasing him about the extra bulge in his belly.
