Well, today was neither a good or bad day. Pete remained stable for most of the day and at 4 pm went for his CT scan. However, the process of taking the CT was very difficult on Pete's already battered system. It took him awhile to stabilize after the procedure and he is still not able to go back on dialysis. We are hopeful that he will be able to start dialysis again sometime around midnight. We were able to identify a pocket of fluid that once drained will provide some relief for Pete's lungs and may provide some more information as to what is attacking him.
Right now we are in the forest with no clear direction as to which way to go, but we have faith that we will eventually find our path and arrive back at our trail-head.
Love you guys and lots of prayers going up!
ReplyDeleteHi Rachelle - You don't know me but I have heard so much (wonderful stuff!) about you in the past from Pete when I worked with him at Valley. It is great that you have this blog to follow. I know this is all sooo difficult for everyone. Please know that there are many people here in our home sending out the most positive energies for Pete - and tell him that I would be so happy to make him smoked salmon when he is better. Many warm thoughts for all of you - Grace Young
