Today Brian drove to Portland (where it was snowing!!) for an appointment with the Infectious Disease doctors who are monitoring the treatment of the histoplasmosis. He had another CT scan of his lungs which showed no further progression of the fungus there. That is very good news. The most recent urine culture also showed no increase in the histoplasmosis. Again...good news. We are so thankful for every bit of good news we receive these days :)
Soon the Infectious Disease doctors will confer with the Transplant team and discuss whether this kidney will need to be removed after dialysis treatment begins, and what implication the fungal infection may have on Brian's eligibility for a new transplant.
We will see Dr. Miller on Thursday to have the fistula checked. To our untrained eyes it is looking pretty good.
