Kerry has had 4 of the total possible 14 doses of Interleuken 2. He hasn't missed any doses so far. His blood pressure is doing well with the help of a small amount of neosynephrine. The nurses were stunned over how well he is doing. Kerry told them that if it made them feel better he still feels pretty crappy -- tired and prickly. He's snoring now but luckily there aren't too many other patients on the floor right now so he's not keeping any of them awake. (For those of you who don't know about his snoring, its world class. The only person I've ever heard snore more loudly is one of his brothers ,who shall remain nameless...).
On a completely unrelated note, for those of you who are interested, Seth made an 11th hour decision about where he will go to college next year. He will be attending Willamette University, a small university in Salem, Oregon. It sounds like a good fit for him and a school that can help him realize his goal of doing premed. (They also made a good financial aid offer.) My only complaint is that the mascot is the Bearcat -- which sounds like a very unlikely and uncomfortable genetic mix.
Kerry's advise of the day: "Use your sunblock and get new spots checked". (I think he means spots on your skin -- as opposed to on your shirt or on the floor.)
Bearcat sounds appropriately weird; perhaps I should adopt one.

Kerry,
ReplyDeleteRemember me? Laura Bell? I am sure you do. I wanted to let you know that I am doing excellent. I started to see an Asian Naturopath and am taking acupuncture and cupping, along with Asian herbs to treat my disease. Miracles do happen! I am totally off steroids; cut my Cellcept in half; am taking half the prescribed bp meds; and am doing incredible. Stopped eating red meat as well as pork...am staying with fish, chicken and turkey. Lots of fresh vegetables and fruits along with tons of green tea. I have already amazed my specialists. So when you get on your feet...I have some things you may want to look into and research. Asian herbs have been treating ailments and disease thousands of years with success. I am a believer and walking proof. God Bless you, Kerry. I think of you and say a prayer for you and your entire family. You are one of the best doctor's I have ever had and want you back!!! Take care, my friend.
