Good morning family and friends,
Derk, Stacey and I are here this morning with Rick. I have spoken to at least 3 different specialists this morning and although they do speak in complete Greek (secret medical language so the lay person never fully understands the entire situation) I did understand that Rick made some improvements in his heart function area last night and some of his other numbers have come down, all good news. However, his kidney function is not doing well at all. He is still very swollen and they are very worried about infections because of so many openings for various lines and catheters, etc. They will keep dad sedated all day today. They want him to just rest and try to get stronger.
All in all, we count the blessings and improvements that dad made over night. We pray his kidneys improve.
I will provide another update later this afternoon.
Have a great Monday!
Warm regards,
Katie

If he rides an Aero he's a stud, just sayin'....and I'm a studette, otherwise known as kayakinbiker, the beotchin' biker babe, crazy Canuckian with the TWO lil biker dogs riding behind! In all seriousness, please pull thru this Rick so we can finally meet when I ACTUALLY follow thru with a trip to the AAR! HAHA!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping us informed. Your dad is a wonderful man. My dad had a heart transplant when he was 59, it was a miracle and kept him around with us 10 more years, and that was more than 20 years ago. They can do wonders today. I, and my family, will continue praying for him, for your mom, you and the rest of your family.
Love and God Bless,
Cindy (FairWthrRider)
Keeping the prayers going. If you guys need anything don't hesitate to call. Your mom has our number.
