Happy Birthday to our Amy! Her name means "blessed one" and she is that to us. We are grateful that God allowed us to be her parents, and now that she's 23 and a wife and mother herself, we are blessed to call her friend. Her presence during Dan's recovery time has been a delight and we are grateful for every moment spent with Amy, Adam, and our grandson Swen.
Dan's kidney CT scan today did show a small kidney stone in his left kidney, however the placement and size would not cause his back pain. So the doctors are convinced the pain is still from the fall and also from lying in bed for so long. So the doctors and PTs have decided to push Dan a little in sitting up more and walking. He walked 1 lap today around the floor, sat up for about an hour then sat up for all 3 meals today. Hopefully these activities will help his back get stronger and lessen the pain.
Meds and meals were more in sync today and his creatinine level didn't change from yesterday, the doctors will still monitor and they are hopeful the kidneys and liver are getting more in sync. His blood sugar is still high though not as high as yesterday. Dan is enjoying reading his new book "Take The Risk" by Dr. Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon at John Hopkins and a man of faith. He's also reading "The Few and the Proud" by Larry Smith, stories from Marine Corps Drill Instructors. It's great that he's able to read again.
Aloha,
Debbie and Dan
