First, thank you for the prayers. I am happy, well elated actually because they worked.
Long story but basically she has been on one medication since 1988. Prednisone. When she was admitted they assumed Renal failure which was not the case. The kidney is scared to the point of almost non functional but the body has not rejected it.
After being deathly ill for 16 days, not eating and looking near death one Doctor figured out to put her back on this medication. I left late yesterday with great concern this was not going to be good. (I have her will in my briefcase)
I came in early today, poked my head around the corner and here was a completely different person. Really? Ate a good dinner the night before, good breakfast this morning. Walking around the Hospital Pod area, smiling, joking. Tired, little weak but that is expected.
She gets dialysis in the morning then a strong possibility of being discharged the same day. Yes, she will need dialysis three times a week, is on the transplant list with a five year wait. Could happen sooner but once we get settled back in I will talk to the Center to see if I can be a donor for her.
What a difference less than 12 hours made. Still not happy with the Doctors oversight at her expense. My Lord, she was ill. Lost 24 pounds. Getting dialysis while feeling this way shows how tuff she really is. One Doctor came thru, I am thankful for that.
Once again, thank you for your prayers. I said it once but I'll repeat it. Having your health is everything. Everything else is minuscule.
