Wow!

Where to begin...I'll start with what I saw when I got to Mom's room today. No dialysis machine and no NG tube! Mom was taken off continuous dialysis overnight. She will still need to have dialysis until her kidneys start working again, but they will only need to do it a few hours and maybe not every day. She was also allowed to start a clear liquid diet. She took her medicines with applesauce today and she had some jello (and a few sips of diet coke!!)

The most exciting news is that they were ready for her to transfer out of the ICU. We thought she would need to go to the progressive care unit, but to our great pleasure, she moved to 3 EAST TONIGHT!! She's back in her "hospital home" where she knows the nurses and staff--and where they know us! It was a lot if excitement for one day and Mom was pretty tired, but she's making great progress!
Praise the Lord!!
