monday night, march 3

dad got in some good rest last night...for the first time he didn't have any visits from nurses every few hours, so that helped!

he has his first outpatient dialysis treatment tomorrow morning for 4 hours. please pray that the first visit goes well and sets a positive tone for the following appointments.

more importantly, we're praying that his kidney goes from functioning at 5% to a minimum of 15% within a short period of time so that he can discontinue dialysis!

also, one of the many side effects of all of the medications and dialysis is a lack of appetite, so pray that he'll still get the important nutrition that he needs in spite of this huge thorn in the flesh.

Terry, we pray that the treatments have gone well this week. All of us are thinking about you and praying that you are getting better with each day.
