Needing More Prayer!!

It is snowing here today! Not a lot but enough to feel like Christmas!

Well, since I wrote my last post things got hard!! I don't think I told you all that the kidney specialist told me to drink more water.

SO I did!! Oh My!! Each evening my feet were a little more swollen until Friday night and they were so swollen that in a couple places they cracked and bled. Not good! Karen and Kelly cleaned them up and propped them up with pillows.

I called my Doctor and they told me he said to call the kidney specialist. The Kidney special is out of his office until Monday morning.

I have labs this week so Please keep praying that the creatine will go down! THANKS!! IF they don't that means you have permanent kidney damage and will have to be on dialysis in time.

I have one more deal..... My body must be making insulin! This week my blood sugar has fell to 40 twice and the worst was the night before Thanksgiving when it dropped to 31 and everything was going dark. My Doctor has decreased my insulin but it is still falling but not as bad.

I hate to make this into a medical post but I need your prayers so much!! I must get well!!

I was able to go and visit some of you a little on Wednesday but I had to stop because of the swelling in my feet.

So I need to get well for many reasons but one reason IS I love to blog!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Girly Comments & Graphics

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends!! I sure hope you have a lovely time with family and friends tomorrow.

We will go down to my son Bill's home. They fix the turkey, gravy, dressing, mashed potato's. We bring the sweet potato's green bean casserole and the corn pudding and I make a fluff salad. Kelly will make pumpkin pies!

I saw the kidney specialist yesterday and he said my creatine were still not were they should be but I am getting better. Praise God!

I was at the Dr's office on Tuesday and my blood pressure was better but my creatine are still not were the Dr. wants them. I see the kidney specialist next week. But I am so much better!!

Nancy wants everyone to know she got a new hair cut, too!!

Update on mom

It's Friday night and I'm taking dictation from mom over the phone...... Here goes....

Thanks to everyone who's been praying, I appreciate it soooo much. I got to come home late on Wednesday night by promising to have lab work done first thing on Thursday morning at my primary caregiver. Which I did and found out my kidney's still haven't bounced back, the creatine level is still high, like at the hospital. Waiting to get direction from the doctor. But drinking LOTS of WATER in the meantime...

Still don't feel like myself, but getting better everyday.

Will post when I can, but wanted everyone to be updated.

Love,
Grams

Mom's In the Hospital

Mom went in the other day for a second round of angioplasty. They did the stint thing, 2 places in her hips, both kidneys, and couldn't do the right leg, it was too hardened. She can have a bypass done, in the future, if she chooses to, but isn't an emergency since there's ancellory flow around the blockage.


She also had complications because her creatin level was high and her kidneys weren't through putting so they've decided to keep her overnight -- again.

She (we) would like your prayers.

Thanks!!
