5 days of being stable

My Dad was released to come on on Tuesday morning. His numbers were down and things looked pretty good. He has been able to keep everything stable up to this day. We are so grateful for that. The only thing now that is a concern is that his incision is not healing fast enough. It is bleeding a lot so the staples will have to stay in longer than normal. The Dr. said that is pretty normal for a Diabetic. He is just staying down and staying very positive about things. My mom has been a trooper this week taking him back down to LDS hospital and IMC for his Therapy and clinics every other day. He will go back on Monday and have all of his numbers checked again to see how everything is going. He is still getting his blood taken out and put back in to see if his antibodies will tame down. He says there is about 1 liter at a time that is out of his body when they do the treatment. It makes him feel really strange when they are done. He feels lightheaded and really weak after that treatment. He may have to do that for only 1 more week but we won't know until next week. He has really enjoyed the phone calls and concerns from all of you. He really put things into perspective for me when he told me of a story about a man who is met this last week at clinics that recieved a kidney transplant on September 3rd. He was in a wheel chair and telling my dad that they have not been able to get his new kidney to wake up yet. The guy told my dad that he is fighting for his wife and 3 little girls that were at home. My dad said, at least I can walk and my kidney is working not to its full potential yet but working. We are so grateful for all that has happend and that things are progressing slowly but in the right way.
