the second dialysis treatment went as planned today. his blood pressure has been a little higher than we'd like, but i believe it's because dad is more aware and awake. he's moving his arms and legs quite a bit (trying to get up so he can leave the hospital - imagine that)!
we're still praying REALLY hard for the kidney function. his levels go down (which is what we want) right after the dialysis treatments, but they've raised back up as the day and night progress. they say this is to be expected, but what we want to see is for the levels to start evening out and not escalating a few hours after the dialysis is over...
still taking things day by day, all the while remembering where we were just a week ago. dad's come so far. it's absolutely amazing to see the progress just from last night to today with his movement and awareness. but we need those kidneys to follow dad's cue and WAKE UP!
