Not what we wanted to hear

Saturday April 16 started off with Aaron and uncle Justin headed to Kinnick to take a look at The Hawk Shop sale before the Spring Football Game. From there Aaron went to hear rounds by himself. While there he didn't really hear what we wanted...

The numbers just simply aren't moving in the direction that we were hoping. It is looking more and more likely that we are headed for dialysis and eventual kidney replacement. We are also looking at life long bladder issues including possibly a supra-pubic catheter (permanent) to help him drain.

Nothing is final yet but the blood work numbers are just going in the wrong direction. We know we keep saying this but this is going to be a long stay and an educational process for us to be able to care for him at home.

Our away time consisted of Jenna, Brody and Aaron heading to the Spring Game for a short time, it was really cold and windy. Here is a pic:

  1. Hi Everybody- Sorry to hear that information from rounds wasn't quite what you wanted- the good news is that you are an excellent hospital with wonderful staff and that medical improvements happen daily...and sometimes even faster! Remember you are all in our thoughts and prayers! Diane and Dennis
