I just talked to my mom. They just left the dr. he explained things to them in a way that they understand and they feel a bit better. The surgeon will now get with the cardiologist. Medications will have to be adjusted before this procedure. The shank will be put in for preparation of possible dialysis starting. Right now his creatin(spelling?) count is at 4. I think they may wait till it gets to 5 before starting dialysis. They want to put the shank in now so that they wouldn't have to try to filter his kidneys in an emergency situation and not be prepared which I think is a good idea. I think mom feels alot better about it now. They have chose to do the dialysis at home like Janet's mom is doing. Thank you all so much for your kind words and your prayers. Please keep praying for him and my mom.
I will keep you informed as to what is happening.
