Good Evening Everyone
Today was a good day for Andrea. although she did not walk as far as yesterday. The PT said it is common for that to happen, muscles have been stretched the first time that are sore the next day, so she walked 30 feet with the walker and did some other leg exercises instead. She had one short bout of nausea and after getting rid of some stomach contents and with the help of an anti nausea medication she was good again. Her bed was changed about one week ago from the delux air inflated one she had which is designed for people who are completely immobilized, to a firmer, more conventional one. She is enjoying this one more and sleeps much better on it and is able to sleep on her side if she chooses. Tomorrow is dialysis again in the afternoon, hope it goes well for her. We hope and pray for a miracle that her kidneys will function again, nephrologists don't give much hope that they will start up again, but they are used to mostly dealing with the aged, not so common for someone her age to require dialysis. There are young patients whom we have known quite well that have recovered kidney function somewhat and get along quite well after their kidneys had stopped functioning, so we hope and pray... Today she ate a few bites of pasta her mother had prepared, and with more mobility we expect her appetite to be stimulated again. I don't know what else to report so goodnight.
Thanks, Maynard
