MORE DIALYSIS
Yesterday Keith and i went for my clinic visit to Kamloops. There the nurses discussed with us how the dialysis is going and how i am feeling now. I still feel pretty gross and tired so they decided to up my dialysis to dinner time( i leave it in for four hours and then i empty myself , immediately fill myself up again before bedtime). When i wake up in the morning, preferably 12 hours later or at least 8 hours later i may empty myself. Then a remain EMPTY until dinner time.
I have not been sleeping well at night for quite some time but last night i am happy to say i slept like a baby!!! Praise the Lord!!
The nurse looked at all of my blood work and said that everything looks good! Another thing to be very thankful for! They also said that my kidney function was at 9. When they say nine, that is out of 80. So my kidney is functioning roughly at 8%.
The exit site for my catheter is a little red so they took a swab of it and we should know by Friday if there is an infection or not. We are praying that it is just red from a little agitation.I do not have a temperature and it is not tender to the touch so those are good signs that it is not an infection. They are just making sure that it is not!
Until next time thank again for all of your thoughts and prayers!
Keith and Bonita
