Quick morning report before I forget. Just talked to Rosemary on my way to work. Dr Kane had just been in. Said x-ray of stomach didnt show anything but he wants to do a CT scan on it to make sure. She asked about why he was so swollen if he was so dehydrated? He is slowing down the fluids and said that blood work will show if it is the hydration or actually the renal fluids from his kidneys not functioning properly. Lets hope for option 1. Also asked about the feeding tube, what if he just isnt tolerating it. Dr Kane said we would just change the formula, kinda like a baby. Said xray from yesterday showed more activity in the lungs. Not sure if it is from tumor or fluid in lungs so we are watching that.
***Rosemary just called. Bloodwork back calcium down to 11.1(Thank God!!!) Creatine still a little high so still have to work on kidney function. Putting IV fluids back to normal. Daddy was headed down to CT scan right now so I will have more of an update this evening. Sorry about the choppiness of these posts, i just have to type as I remember. So many things going on!! Thanks as always for continued prayers and support.

Choppy or not, keep the posts coming. And it may help if you just do it a little at a time as you hear something so you are not composing a long one.
