Wow Vickie. I’m so sorry that Tony is going through this. And you, Linda
and the family too. My prayers still continue. Probably not the time or
place, but I’d feel a second opinion is in order. The body can’t get
better with all these set backs. Hugs to all of you.

I am beside myself right now. Everything was going so good, so I thought.
But, apparently, the man upstairs has other things in mind for Tony. Here’s
Linda’s message just a few minutes ago. Pray please!

Where is Tony?
He's back at U of M. Last night I went into Tony's U of M portal, while on
the phone with Tony. Poor guy has such bad tremors, most likely from one of
the anti-rejection drugs, he can't use his keypad on his iPhone, to enter
in his username & password. So, I read him the results from yesterday's
ultrasound. It indicated that Tony's kidney has another hematoma. There
were also lab results from Thursdays Clinic, which showed no change in his
Creatinine and BUN. Still way too high. We expected to hear back from the
kidney transplant team regarding this issue. When we were at U of M for
Clinic Thursday, we brought up the asymmetrical belly that Tony has. Yes,
of course there is a new kidney in his lower abdomen, but his belly looks
lopsided & distended. We asked about it, & they said fluid, which would
re-absorbed into his body. His blood pressure which was always low, from
dialysis, before his transplant, is now high. When we expressed our
concerns about systolic in the 150s & diastolic in the 80s, his
nephrologist said that was fine for kidney transplant recipients. But today
it was 171/91 & he had major belly pain. I was gathering up some fresh
clothes, treats, & a guitar & tambourine to bring to his room, when he
texted me to get over to South Lyon Rehab ASAP, because an ambulance was on
it's way. When I arrived, speeding like a maniac, trying to beat the
ambulance, he was in his room on the gurney, about to be taken away. He
showed me his belly, & he said it felt like it was gonna explode. They will
only hold his rehab room for 24 hours. If he's admitted, I'll have to go
pick up the rest of his belongings. I was in complete panic mode at this
point. They wheeled him down the hall, & I ran after him. "Stop! I can't
let you take him until I say goodbye & give him a hug." All I could do was
sob & tell him how sorry I was that he has to go through all this. God
always surprises us with a plan that we don't expect nor want. But he
created Tony, included with a musical gift & fierce intelligence. He
arranged for that miraculous gift of a Kidney, but Tony's road to recovery
has been very rough. We have faith that after all the challenges that have
occurred since Tony's kidney transplant, God is still with him, & this is
one more thing that has to happen before his kidney starts working
properly, so Tony can continue a smoother road to recovery. So, as I type
this report with tears running down my cheeks, I ask that all of you who've
been praying for Tony, to please continue to do so in ernest! Thanking you
all in advance for your prayers, kindness & caring.❤️🫂🙏🙏
