Hi, everyone!

Well hubby came home this AM after seeing Dr in his unit -
dr had results of his 24 hr urine and bloodwork, and is extremely
happy with the results.
As of this coming Monday, he will be on D. on Wednesdays only,
and for 3 hrs.
He will have to maintain his D diet, and also make sure he limits
his sodium (my job) but I ampraying he may be free from
dialysis soon!   His function is returning, slowly but surely,
and creatnine isdropping.
Please all keep your fingers (and toes) crossed for us!

Love, Anne

Hi!!!!

thanks for all the great wishes.   My husband is feeling fantastic - when he was first
put on 2 days a week I was pretty scared that he would start to feel sick - and
watched him like a hawk.   but he felt wonderful, and was coming home from
the short sessions (3 hrs 2 x a week) just like himself, before his kidneys failed.
Now, with the 1 day a week (starting next week) I will be watching and
constantly asking " you OK" once again!
I really do have a lot of faith in these Drs, and I hope (and think) we
are on a road not much traveled with Renal sickness - the one back to
function without the dreaded D machine. 
Les's dialiversary will be april 1st (4 yrs on machine)
I will keep all posted on what is going on!
Love to you all, and praying for everyone on here!
Anne

Dailysis patient for since 1999 and still kicking it strong.  I was called for a transplant but could not get it due to damage veins from extremely high blood pressure.  Have it under control now, on NxStage System but will receive dailysis for the rest of my life.  Does life sucks because of this.  ABOLUTELY NOT!  Life is what you make it good, bad, sick, or healthy.  Praise God I'm still functioning as a normal person just have to take extra steps.

Hi Anne,

 :2thumbsup;  What exciting news!

I am curious how this happened?  Did his kidney function improve?  I would love to decrease my dialysis, obviously  ;)

Thanks & Best wishes to your hubby!
