Here's the latest: Irving called me in the last hour to tell me that he's on track to head home today! The heart biopsy results will not be available until Monday, so no point in staying in the hospital for that. The deciding factor will be the results from this morning's lab work, to make sure the kidney numbers are heading back in the right direction....his creatinine was slightly elevated when he came in to the ED, and no one wants his new kidney to be in any kind of distress. The intial reason for admission has resolved itself, apparently, and the docs don't seem worried about it being anything more sinister than a momentary little blood clot passing through.
We are very disappointed to be missing a major family gathering today in Sveadal, a Swedish-American resort area near Morgan Hill. My mother's mother's side of the family, the Peter Christian branch originating from Sweden (and Denmark), has been gathering every summer for many years, and we have attended most years. Everyone was quite anxious to see the new "Irv 2.0" this year, since most of that group has not seen him since last year when he was still very ill. So apologies to all the Carlsons, Hughes's, Hansens, Raibleys, Greens, Urmsons and offspring for being no-shows. We were sure we would make it this year, until Friday night's events.
Here's hoping for the next edition to be issued from the TX Trib home office by the man himself!
