You know, I think no news is good news! Hopefully, that means she is holding her own right now!

Mom is at dialysis right now. My brother took her today and I will take her on Saturday. I hope things go smoothly for her this morning. I'm just waiting to hear from her.

No more nighttime dialysis? It's so good that your brother is helping you with your Mom.
I am praying for her.

Thanks all. Mom is not enjoying this hemodialysis at all. Seems to make her tired all the time. As soon as the infection is all healed and the replace the cath in her abdomen she can go back on the peritoneal dialysis at night. It will be 4-6 weeks though and she's already complaining. I know it's rough, but she is so negative about everything. If she could at least try to look on the brighter side until the 4-6 weeks is up, I think she'd feel better.
I will take her in the morning for her dialysis. I can't go in with her so I'm not sure if I'll come home or stay in Lafayette for the 3.5 hours. Maybe I'll try to sleep in my van or something.

How far of a drive is it for you to just go back home? Sleeping in your van doesn't sound too safe Janet!!
I hope your Mom does okay tomorrow. I'm sure that she was more satisfied doing her dialysis at home but sometimes things happen and you just have to make the best of a situation that you're not happy with. My Mom is like that sometimes too. Can't seem to find positive in anything. |

So far Mom has gone through 4 of the dialysis treatments. Except for being a little on the tired side....she seems to be doing okay. I took a nap in the car, (could have used a longer one..lol) and then at 7AM when the tire and lube at WalMart opened I had them fix a tire that had two nails in it. Then I went to a couple of garage sales on my way to PetSmart and then back to pick up Mom.
Her campers group is camping this weekend so she's going to go out and visit with them this afternoon. She's not taking her camper this time and may stay the night with a friend there. She really shouldn't be driving, but it won't be easy taking that away from her. Sorry Paula..I forgot to answer your question...it takes about 30 minutes from Mom's house to get to the dialysis center.
