Thanks for checking in…!!!

Today was Irene’s three month checkup at UCSF.  After the blood draw she was examined by Dr. Lloyd Damon who has been her lead physician since May of 2007.  Dr. Damon is very pleased with Irene’s progress/status as we await the cappa light chain (Primary Amyloidosis) results next week.  Dr. Damon is confident that the Amyloid remains in remission. 

We are, of course, awaiting its complete withdrawal from her body…!!!

Against all traditional wisdom and modern medicine, we’re also patiently awaiting Irene’s kidneys to wake up…!!!

Thanks for caring…!!!
