Dave is not running a temperature and his nurse hasn't told us his daily white blood count number. Dave is still having the hiccups and still on medication for this. Consequently he is still having the episodes when he isn't able to breathe. Dave only had to be on dialysis for 2 hours today, instead of the normal 4 hours, because his kidneys started functioning better over the weekend, PTL!!!!!! The renal doctors said hopefully Dave won't have to have dialysis ever again. We pray this is the case! What a pleasant surprise, the Lord is definitely capable of anything! Dave's lower right lung is still full of fluid. They have told us there is about .5 liters of fluid, the same amount as last time. At this point they are not going to act on this fluid, hoping it will take care of itself. A nutritionist came by to help figure out which foods would be easy for Dave to digest but also have a lot of nutrition. Thanks for your continued prayer support, we can see God working!
