Thanks Diana! He is still in the hospital and he is doing pretty fair right now. They are doing dialysis every two hours. Been doing that since yesterday. I talked to him as we were leaving Lexington earlier today and he said that he felt pretty good. That's all we can hope for right now...that he is not suffering and is able to talk and even give us a little chuckle once in a while.

That's great news Paula. He will feel so much better without all that fluid. We have to keep a close eye on Mom's weight and blood pressure so we know what size fluid to use. Once he gets the hang of it....it won't be so bad.

Dad got to go home from the hospital on Sat. He had dialysis that day at the hospital before he was sent home.
I came home on Sat. He had to be back in Lexington to the dialysis clinic this morning. He did well. He seems to be gaining some strength back too..which is wonderful. His cath for paritineal(sp?) didn't leak...so his dialysis will be done at home tonight for the first time. My brother is there and I will be going back tomorrow. I usually go on Wed and stay till Fri or Sat. |

I hope you are taking care of yourself Paula, it gets pretty exhausting trying to care for our parents. how far do you have to travel to get to your dads? Get some rest please!!

I'm so glad that he is home now. I hope the peritoneal dialysis goes well, it is so much easier than hemodialysis. I hope you mom is doing OK!
