well, dad had his follow up appointment this morning with his kidney doctor, dr. patel. he said things are still looking good. woo hoo! he told dad he could get rid of the strongest blood pressure med (he's been on 3 different ones) that has given him the most side effects, so that is a welcomed relief! he'll be upping the dosages on his other two to counterbalance the effects of stopping the one.
dr. patel wouldn't tell them the percentage of functioning of his kidney (BOO!), but he said that all they needed to know was that as long as he was happy that they should be happy. so let's continue to pray that the levels increase as time goes on without the diaylsis process. that is a road that dad NEVER wants to drive his little black truck down AGAIN!
thanks for checking in on how things are progressing!
