    Thank you all
    Thank you all so much. We are both soooooo done. He went in at the beginning of the month for a BUNIONECTOMY, which resulted in a week long hospital stay when it became infected. He got a call on Wednesday to go to the ER. Ken's creatine level is 16.4 (normal is around 1). Effectively, his kidneys have shut down because of anti-biotic overload. He was on home IV Vankomycin for his foot infection, normal levels of that should be 18 and his were 100.

    This man, who was so positive for me during my surgery and chemo, is so negative for his own health, has me turned inside out. He is my other half, and I need him to get well...soon. So far, most health care professionals I have talked to have told me that they "expect" him to come out of this okay once the antibiotic levels straighten out. But the creatine level is SO damn high!

    I think I'm more scared for him than I ever was for me. Does that make sense?

    Hugs to all and I am eternally grateful for all the Prayers and Good Wishes!,
