Todd's latest test results-not good. CK number went up again to 36,000 (normal value is 800). This value represents the level of muscle cell breakdown in his body that his kidneys are having to try to flush out. The only treatment for this (rhabdomyolysis) is flush him with fluids. He has now had 20 liters of fluid. More to come...

Have you been able to come home and change your clothes this time? I hope he gets better quickly. It is never fun being in the hospital...but at Christmas, with little kids...YUCK!!! Missed you at our YM/YW caroling activity, but I knew you were where you needed to be.
