It’s the best news so far. I cried with joy and relief, after reading it,
early this morning.
Here’s Linda’s update.

Tony update:
Best day so far. Thanks to your prayers, Tony made more progress today.
They removed the Foley catheter, which totally made his day. But the
biggest highlight was that he peed on his own, 3 times!!! C-Diff gut
bacterial infection is improving. He's able to get out of bed & use the
walker, with just little old me assisting. He's finally eating more food.
And as you can see here, he's enjoying a snack. His cognitive function has
improved since the Prednisone & Tacro adjustment. He has lucid
conversations now. Those are 2 of his anti-rejection drugs. He can raise
the spirometer breathing-measuring device to 2000 & beyond. So things are
looking up. Tomorrow, we begin the "walk the halls" challenge. His urine
output is still low, but is clearing up, & Tomorrow they'll determine
whether he'll need a dialysis treatment, or not, if the new kidney puts out
enough urine, removing fluid & toxins. But it appears the kidney is waking
up, & is slowly beginning to do it's job. One day at a time works for us!
Until next time....❤️🫂

ago.
This afternoon I spoke with his nurse or patient assistant who knows all
of his medications, etc. So he’s more than a helper. But it sounds like he
is Tony’s personal assistant. Because of Tony’s delirium or epilepsy, I
think, they are constantly regulating his meds. He said that Tony is better
today, and he expects he’ll get better every day. They have cut his pain
meds, and cut back on his anti rejection meds, and they’re still giving him
his epilepsy meds, and Tony has seen a Physical Therapist and an
Occupational Therapist today, and although he got a little distracted, he
did what was asked of him.  ; He is getting up to use the bathroom, and
he has a radio in his room, and the TV has radio channels he can tune into.
So, he told me that Tony’s hospitalization is only planned for until the 3
rd, but it could be longer. So, he does need more sleep, and his hours
are much different than hospital hours, so I asked them, and he said, they
are trying to keep Tony on his regular schedule. He had dialysis yesterday
morning at 6:30,which is hardly Tony’s hours, but hopefully tomorrow’s
dialysis will be later in the day. He said they are planning to give Tony
something to help him sleep tonight, so he’ll get better that way too.
Linda needs rest too. So, I thought I would share what I found out, so like
me, you may feel a little more positive about Tony’s healing. I’m not
afraid for him. God has this! The hospital phone number is: 734-936-4000
and you have to talk to the operator to ask for his room anyway, so there’s
no since in providing the room number. < o:p>

Hi Facebook friends and family. First chance to write up a medical report.
Tony had to get dialysis yesterday, because he was so bloated from water
retention. He has a severe case of delirium that comes & goes. He doesn't
even know how to operate his phone. U of M Neurology is giving him a 4 hour
EEG to check brain wave activity. He also has tremors, which are really
getting worse. He has unintelligible speech, & invented vocabulary. We're
looking for seizure like behavior, he is epileptic. Later tonight, he goes
for an MRI. They took out the Foley catheter yesterday, but he has very
little urine output. The prednisone that he has to take for the rest of his
life has made him very restless, agitated & uncooperative. He can't get to
the bathroom by himself, cause he's a fall risk. He tries to get out of
bed, so theres a robot monitor in his room, that sees him getting up, &
tells him to stay in bed. Then the nurse comes in to help with the problem.
There is also a patient assistant i
n the room to watch him & help to prevent him from getting out of bed. He
also goes to dialysis soon. I never slept last night, so I have to rest
now. We definitely won't be leaving here for awhile. I feel th e UTI is
contributing to the cognitive issue. I'll give another report when I know
more.❤️🫂 Linda👩🦰
