Friday Update

Kevin said today started out pretty good. Daniel ate a pretty good breakfast after he told him the yogurt was ice cream! They went for a lot of walks, picked up all Daniel's new meds at the pharmacy...$159 for a months worth. Hopefully we'll be cheaper here in NV! The not so good news (which is still not too bad, but we were hoping to avoid) was that Daniel got the NG tube. He'll need supplimental feedings of pediasure during the night so he is well hydrated thru the night. Blood pressure falls during the night and we can't risk damaging this new kidney! Kevin said it wasn't fun! Tried the left nostril....blood came out. (nurse is asking doctor about that one) Got it in the right and he started shaking (tramatic) and then threw up. Poor Kevin is about done! I am really praying they release them tomorrow. If they don't I am going to fly back early. (Sunday evening) Kevin's sister, Brenda and her boys are going up to see him tomorrow, so that will help boost his spirits. Other than that, Kevin said Daniel had been doing great! Joking, teasing, talking, etc. Dr. Conception said that the reason Daniel istn' putting weight on his right side is because it requires using those muscles and it will be tender and sore for about another week in a half or so. Good thing I am taking back a stroller with me! :-)
