Today has brought further good news, although it is greatly confusing the doctors!
Since the nephrostomy Ffion's creatinine levels have remained at the same level, leading doctors to make the decision to clamp off the the nephrostomy tube this week with a view to then removing it. HOWEVER, this morning her creatinine levels dropped! They are still much higher than "normal" but moving in the right direction!!
As a result of this her nephrostomy tube has not been clamped and the blood tests will be repeated tomorrow and the dye test repeated on Thursday. Thank you for your prayers and please keep praying that her creatinine levels will continue to drop.
This does mean that if her nephrostomy remains in place she might not get home so soon but it is a good sign from the view of her kidney function.
Ffion wasn't feeding from the bottle so well today as she was very tired but that isn't unexpected as she is still very small.
We are pleased that our little girl is confounding the medical professionals and pray that her kidney function continues to improve!
