They'll be doing hourly blood tests to make sure all is as it should be. Her peak creatinine was 15.9. We'll see how it drops by tomorrow.

7:10 AM - 30 Apr 13:
Julie's creatinine is down to 4 (normal is 1), but her hemoglobin is down to 6.9 (normal is 10-13) so they'll give her 2 units of blood.

All the doctors just came by and said things look great. They hope to send Julie home tomorrow. We'll see Amy a little later today.
