Tony report:
Tony's kidney functions are declining rather than improving. Although the
fluid pulled from his abdomen, which now has a drainage tube in place, was
hopefully going to make it easier for the kidney to improve, the lab work is
showing decline in GFR & increase in Creatinine & BUN, which previously were
moving downward, heading towards the reference range. So, tomorrow he will
be getting a biopsy, which means getting put under, followed by more pain
meds after the procedure. Just as they were beginning to taper the Dilaudid
down, making him less loopy. In addition to this, his hearing aid batteries
died, so now he can't hear well, & I asked social work to provide him with
batteries. They haven't been too helpful in that department. Amazon can't
get them to U of M til Jan 29th. He hopefully will be back at South Lyon
Rehab facility by then. To top it off, his tremors are so bad that his 10
allowable times to log into his cell phone, have locked him out, because he
kept hitting wrong numbers/letters, due to his tremors. Now I have to call
him using the room phone. So frustrating, as sometimes the phone falls off
the rail of the bed, then he can find it. I feel so badly for him. I was
able to successfully get through on his cell phone, so evidently, even if
he's locked out of his phone, he can still accept calls, for now anyway.
Prayer Request for his biopsy tomorrow, that they find answers & ways to
improve his kidney function. Thank you all very much!
