Going Home...But staying On Dialysis

The good news is Karen gets to go home today.  We are just waiting on paperwork and we will be on our way.  Unfortunately, the 24 hour kidney test indicated that her kidney function has not returned so she WILL continue to need dialysis three times per week.  Karen will go back to her Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday at 6:30am hemo-dialysis treatments at the Miller Street clinic starting this Saturday.  While this is disappointing, we both felt like it was a long-shot that dialysis would no longer be needed, and we are fine.  We are just delighted that she gets to go home and thank God for how far He has brought her!

God is good. You have been through more than your share but your faith inspires others. Praying for healing, strength, endurance. Love and hugs.

So glad that Karen is home and will get to have a Mother's Day there. Will be thinking of all of you and praying for a recovery. At your service as needed.

Have thought about you all day--hoping all went well on your first day home. We are so glad you can work from home, Rusty. I know both of you feel more confident this time after all of the training at the S. Center. How is Karen managing with the steps?? We pray that the Mother's Day weekend will be wonderfully happy for all of you. Love and prayers,
Salley
