He has had some improvement today. He has a small amount of urine output which shows us that the kidneys are trying to work.
They are taking him down to drain the fluid of the abdomen this afternoon.
He is less agitated so his heart rate has come down, it goes too high when he gets upset. There has been a change in shift here for the weekend and the new nurses and aides are really getting along with him well. I this is also helping the agitation today.
He has had some periods of rest, not exactly sleep, but rest with eyes closed. Probably about 2 hours total, off and on.
Thank you Lord for these improvements. I've also noticed that my mom seems better today I know it's the encouragement of these changes.
His breathing is a little worse, they are giving him treatments more often. He still needs SLEEP! Our hope is that they will be able to treat infection and the abdominal fluid - And of course that the Kidneys will continue to improve. He will have dialysis again tomorrow, he didn't have it today which could be why he is less agitated.
Steffi stayed with him last night and they had a really BAD night, she was a mess when I picked her up this morning. But things seem to be going better today. I don't know why it is that when you are sick they nights are worse?? Mom or I will stay tonight, Pray that the night is better.
Thank you all again so much. I know you will all encourage your churches to continue praying. Your prayers and encouragement are keeping us going. We love you. Please pass the blog address along to anyone who is praying and wants updates.
