update

still waiting for his stress test to be done, it’s scheduled for tomorrow. in the meantime, he has cellulitis in his legs, his blood sugar levels are critical, and there is concern over his kidneys. he went into the hospital two years ago at thanksgiving for renal failure and ended up in a nursing home for two months. his stress test will be done tomorrow, we won’t really know anything until monday. depending on the results of the stress test they may need to do a heart cath but are reluctant to do so because the xray contrast would send him into renal failure and he would require dialysis. we won’t really know anything until monday.

today his color is better, he doesn’t seem as short of breath and he doesn’t seem to fatigue as easily, all encouraging signs. the family has gathered around him and all of his grandchildren have been to the hospital to visit him.

positivity for today, in times of crisis we are reminded just how important family bonds are.
