Jeff had another dialysis treatment today. Dialysis makes him so tired so he was ready to get back bed when it was over. As soon as we got him back in his bed, the physical therapist came in to do his therapy. He walked 11 feet from his bed and out the door and then 8 feet back to his chair. This was a huge accomplishment for him. As soon as we got him back in the bed after therapy radiology came in to take him for an x-ray of is abdomen.
The kidney doctor said that it could take two months for his kidneys to start working. The infectious disease doctor said that part of his stomach has died and he had to remain on antibiotics to keep infections away. From what I understand, if his stomach does not heal they will have to do surgery to remove that part.
He is beginning to look very gaunt and more tired. He tries very hard to keep his spirits up and appreciates all the prayers. He finds comfort in me reading the scriptures to him and praying with him.
