Bruce saw the kidney specialist yesterday and about all we know at this point is that Bruce's kidney function is down to about 30%. He has to have more blood work done, a 24 hour urine done, an ultra-sound done, more blood work done, etc., etc.. Unless something alarming & urgent shows up in his test results, we probably won't know anything until he sees the specialist again on March 14th.

Our biggest concern about all of this is that with his current creatinine count, Bruce would be disqualified from participating in clinical trials for the NHL. Please be praying that whatever is causing his kidney problem is reversible and that his creatinine count will go down.

Now, on to a brighter subject: This month we're celebrating the fact that it's been 19 years since Bruce was diagnosed! Only 6 more years to go until we celebrate his silver anniversary! :)
