he opened his eyes.
we heard word that his eyes were opened, so we tore off down the hall as respectfully as we could in the CCU, and sure enough, when we rounded the corner and walked in his room, there were those baby blues. finally.
obviously, he's still extremely out of it and drugged up. he kept his eyes open for the ten minutes i was in there. but he still is overtly weak, so baby steps.
the dialysis went well. they took off 4 liters = 10 pounds. what a bad way to lose weight! his kidney levels had gone up another big notch this morning from yesterdays levels, but after the dialysis, they went from the 8's back down to the 6's. the decline is a direct result of the dialysis. we just need to keep praying that the kidney(s) will begin to function on their own after the help from the dialysis. this is VERY important.
his blood pressure is in the 120s which is fantastic, and his heart rate is in the 80's. these numbers are, also, a direct result from the dialysis.
keep your prayers coming...
