Today, Pete's kidneys showed the further signs of recovery and improved function. This is a reassuring sign and the doctors' are hopeful they will eventually recover fully.
The other milestone Pete achieved today was the removal of his feeding tube. Over the past four days Pete has been gradually working up to satisfy his nutritional needs the old fashioned way, yesterday they turned off the feedings and he was able to consume enough that they felt comfortable removing his feeding tube today. He was also able to eat his first meal sitting up in a chair and not in bed!
As always, we are thankful for all the continued support and encouragement!
They may be baby steps but we are all behind you both, every step of the way...
