One Step at a Time

      They originally thought we would come to the MICU for just a few hours, but here we are for  a second night.   It might possibly be our last night, at least for now.  Tomorrow they are expecting his home ventilator to arrive and we're hoping for some time here to get used to it before they send us

home but hopefully we'll feel comfortable with it and there won't be the need to spend another night.
      The kidney function they were worried about yesterday has been their primary concern today.  More blood tests and an ultrasound to try and figure out what the problem is, but still no answers.   With his kidney's in as much trouble as they are, the imaging that he needs is much too dangerous.  They mentioned "kidney failure" a few times today, not sure if he's in actually in kidney failure or approaching it, neither is good.  For right now it's priority number one in order to be able to move forward.  More ducks to try and get in a row, our only option is to take it one step at a time.
