Friday, November 16

Dear Family & Friends,

The last 2 days have been up and down.  There have been a number of developments today, dad/grandpa went in for a CT Scan this morning.  Since this procedure requires the use of dye, which could potentially shut down all remaining kidney function, a dialysis (fistula) connection had to be made in the upper chest area - this makes 2 such catheters.  The reason for this is that dialysis may need to be started immediately and the abdominal connection isn't functioning (and may never do so).

We are now in a different, private room on the nephrology ward (kidney).  We expect the results of the CT Scan to come at some point in the next 24 hours.

Dad/grandpa is now in reasonably good spirits after a difficult morning.

We continue to look to the Lord for all things.  Please pray that the reason for the bowel issues will be resolved and corrected in the near future.
