So another day at the hospital---

Today was a pretty ok day, his new treatments seem to be working some, although not enough his airways are still yucky, so we will fix that tomorrow--- they ae going to go in and clean all that yucky out of his lungs... Please pray for him tonight as he goes to nothing by mouth and that his sugars stay ok, being a diabetic all this can be very tricky... His fluid is still not doing well, he is still gaining weight daily due to fluid, and not enough out take and due to kidney functions that have not been able to take any fluid off yet. We are hopeful this will start tomorrow... And,speaking of kidneys- today they got results back from his renal ultrasound, and it just confirmed more chronic kidney disease due to diabetes, and that he had a cyst on his kidney that they are not going to biopsy now. We are going to be in close contact with his Nephrologist. Be in prayer for his blood pressure to come down, when I left at 8 it was 199/114 too high for anyone especially one who has had strokes, yikes... Stay in prayer for a safe night, and wonderful outcome from the procedure tomorrow... God is Good-- we are so lucky to have all these wonderful Dr's, and medical knowledge to treat people , and help to improve their quality of life, we are so fortunate to have this as Americans!
