Dad had a decent weekend. He was lucid during the 9am visits, squeezing hands, wiggling toes, and nodding in understanding, but then would become so agitated that they would have to sedate him for the rest of the day. He had dialysis on Saturday and again yesterday. Please pray for his kidneys, as they are struggling to work. He is now only on insulin and liquid nutrition with a little sedative thrown in. The doctors say that other than his kidneys, his other functions have begun to normalize. His heart is doing great too. Today around 10am, they are going to get him off the ventilator and trake him...finally! This should help him concentrate on getting better and stop struggling to get the tube out of his mouth. Again, the doctors and nurses say that once he has that in, they can get him up in a chair and what-not.
Like I said earlier, please pray for his kidneys and for him to have a successfully surgery this morning! We love you all!
