Results for today

So today was a pretty good day. He was very coherent and very talkative. More so in the early day. Think he got tired towards the end.

Ultrasound went good. No casualties:) Kidney Dr says ultrasound was normal. No obstructions or anything huge. Just dehydration causing the problems. Easily fixed with medicine that will also help with his calcium and bones too. This was a huge victory because we cant start chemo or anything until his kidney function gets straight. And we dont have allot of time to wait for big problems.

Results we got today...
Dr. Bergeron came in this evening(before 10:30 pm thank goodness) and most all of the news was good. His potassium is down to 5.1(Normal 5.3) Calcium is going down. We started at 14.5, we are down to 13.1(normal is 10.5) This is the main thing causing the disorientation. So we are moving in the right direction. One battle at a time right? He is going to try and get him up in the next day or two. Sit in a chair, walk a little bit. Still on liquid diet but he atleast has an appetite. Small victories are awesome. His goal right now is to have Daddy home by the weekend. Then we will talk about chemo and radiation. Feel like I am rambling but I have to post what I remember when I remember it. He is getting pain medicine fewer and farther between which is great. Going about 6 hours in between shots.

Ya know that commercial "Life moves at ya fast......" yeah well it has been moving like a freight train right through our lives. We cannot believe how fast all of this has happened. Would just love to have some normalcy in the middle of this monster we are fighting called "cancer". Thanks as always for continued prayers and thoughts.

I am out of town tomorrow so post maybe late and may not be much info. Hopefully more good news to report. Tomorrow is my baby girls' 18th bday. Not exactly the bday any of us planned for her, but we will make it as good as possible. She has been at hospital every free chance she gets taking care of her PaPa. Hate what this is doing to her too. But we will get through this as a family.. night all. going on 3 hours sleep. Hoping for 7 tonight. Whoop whoop.
