On April 21, she was admitted to the ER where tests revealed her kidney's were at 7% normal function. Thankfully, with aggressive treatment, including 18 rounds of plasmapheresis, she is recovering. She still needs to undergo continued chemo and steroid treatments for the next 2 months, but the prognosis is good that she will make a full recovery from the renal failure.
