THERE ARE MANY THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR TODAY!!!!!!!
Dave walked for the first time with his walker, he was able to walk 40 feet! Yesterday the renal docs told Dave he would need dialysis today and then today his kidney numbers looked so good he didn't have dialysis! The Infectious Disease docs were in and said Dave hasn't had a high temperature for an entire week. They were happy to announce they won't be needed on Dave's case any more!!! Dave's white blood count is down again today! He had 4 breathing episodes yesterday, but hasn't had any yet today and has only had the hiccups a few times today! Dave is having a CT scan to look at his abdomen and an ultrasound done to look at the bile flow in his liver. The x-ray on Tuesday of Dave's right lung shows the same amount of fluid on the lower lobe. The only way to get rid of the fluid in Dave's circumstance is to place a large uncomfortable tube in his chest. This tube would be a fairly long term fix due to Dave's malnutrition, as the malnutrition would cause the fluid to continue gathering in his lung. The tube would also be a potential source of infection so they have decided not to place the drainage tube in his chest. Thank you for your faithful prayers!

Brother Dave and Family,
We are excited and thankful, too!No dialysis, no infection, less breathing episodes and walking!!! A big Woo Hoo!!
We will keep praying for healing for Dave's lungs and abdomen. Also for better digestion and appetite.
God has been so good!! Do you remember the "Footprints" poem? God has been supporting you and carrying you when you could not do it yourself. It is so good to know that you can begin to make your own footprints.
We are cheering for you.
Love and God bless always,
Marva and Lo
