This was a good result day, too. Stan's kidneys are now operating at 43% which is still good progress in the direction we want to go. He has had medication cut down and another pill discontinued. The "permcath" (tubing to connect dialysis) will be removed as soon as the surgeon is available to do it. Translation: not more dialysis. Hurray!! The bandage was just changed again on the underarm wound. We have had problems with the vacuum seal releasing and hope that is remedied. The results are so encouraging as the wound has already closed up about half the depth of what they started with. Stan is not enjoying hauling the vacuum pack around and constantly disconnecting and reconnecting it from the power source. It weighs at least 4 pounds (which may not be extreme to those of us who have carried diaper bags or purses! Physical therapy is going well, They have wonderful equipment at City Hospital and helpful people. We have done some indoor walking as it has rained up here for the last few days. I actually bought an umbrella.
Today was Monica's last day of work before her baby is born. We are so excited for Monica and Roy. Please add her to your prayer list for the safe arrival of their baby. Thanks to all who have sent comments. We enjoy hearing from you. Love, Stan and Maxine
