While it's not raining at this exact moment, it did rain quite a bit last night. Consequently the roads are pretty wet, and since there's still a 50% chance of rain the rest of the morning, I won't be riding my bike today.
So in keeping with my threat to post under such circumstances, plus the fact Edie did receive some good news yesterday, I thought I would inform everyone of that news.
Edie's creatinine dropped to 2.1.
That's still not within the normal range (0.6 to 1.1), but it is a far cry from where it was previously, when it got as high as 6.1, and she was admitted to the hospital.
Now we can't know for certain that the drop is not a result of the dialysis treatments she is undergoing, her oncologist does seem to think the drop is more significant than one would expect just from dialysis. [The Velcade may just be doing its job, and at the very least Edie may be able to get off dialysis soon.]
So on top of the fact, the rain is bringing much needed relief from the drought we have been experiencing in LA (I literally can't remember when it rained last, it has been that long), the rain is having a cleansing effect as well.
Ooops! It just started raining again.
The only problem now is, what to do with myself for the rest of the morning.

I'm pulling for another good day for you guys and and lower numbers still.
Best,
It rained here this morning and we had an outdoor wedding to attend this afternoon, but the rain stopped and the clouds parted and it was just a lovely wedding.
We'll know more after her next test on Tuesday.
