Today was one of those days where nothing seemed to go as planned. We were supposed to have dialysis morning at 5 and were finally told at 10 that we weren't. Good thing we didn't wake up 5, we decided to let the nurse wake us up when it was time to go. We woke up around 8. Mom did get up and walk 27 steps today but didn't get to push herself in the wheelchair very far due to some complications that have since been remedied. They did photopheresis this afternoon and thankfully our nurse told them that she needed it done in her room. So, we got to stay at "home". Last week they put in a new catheter in Mom's clavicle for long term dialysis when she comes home. Well, it kept her in bed for four days because it wouldn't stop bleeding and it started up again today. Hopefully tomorrow she will get a stitch put in it so it won't bleed anymore. Although Mom got good news today: the kidney doc said that her kidney was working better and that he was cautiously optimistic, she has been really down today. I am hoping that tomorrow is a better day for her. She really deserves all the good days she can get. She is so ready to go home and is afraid that these bumps are going to keep her here longer than the 21st. So with all that being said, I will close because once again we are supposed to have dialysis in the morning. . . .we shall see. Until tomorrow.
