Title: Les Is On 2 Days a Week
Post by: 2_DallasCowboys on December 23, 2009, 04:59:57 AM

Hi, All!


Well my hubby is now on dialysis 2 days a week, reduced from
3 days - for 3 hrs each session!   Dr seems to feel he may be regaining
enough function to maybe get off -  what a miracle that would be!

They will be monitoring him very closely.  Dr did give him a low dose
lasix, and he is peeing up a storm.  His D. days are now Monday and
Friday- on Friday they only had to remove 1.2 Kgs of fluid.  Dr did
say he may tweak the lasix dosage abit.  He will have bloodwork
this week coming

This is now his 3rd week of twice a week sessions.  I am praying
very, very hard that something very wonderjul may happen

I hope all my wonderful friends here are feeling great,


Anne and Les





I hope

What a wonderful piece of news!  Here's to keeping our fingers, toes and eyes crossed; hoping it works out that he can come off D permanantly!
