Brendon went to see the kidney doctor, Dr. Hand, yesterday afternoon. He had to give a blood and urine sample to have further testing done. We are hoping to have the results later on this afternoon. After seeing Dr. Hand, we went to the clinic to be checked out. Bren's mouth has been hurting him so bad and the pain medicine we have is not helping him. The clinic gave Bren the choice of trying to up the home pain meds to see if that helped or being admitted and being put on morphine. His pain was bad enough that he decided to go to the hospital. He was admitted to Barbara Bush last night and was put on Benadryl and Morphine. He says that his mouth is feeling much better since he's been on the morphine. He was starting to question his decision to be admitted last night, but now he's glad he chose to be here. They can monitor his pain much better than we can at home. We are not sure how long we'll be here yet. The doctors/nurses think that he's on the tail end of the mouth sores, so hopefully it will feel better soon. Brendon's spirits are good today. He's a little sleepy, but he's in a lot less pain.

I'll update as soon as more we have more information....
