One Step at a Time

The days keep ticking by. I can see Scott getting a little bit stronger as time goes by. He is able to move himself a little better every week that goes by. He is walking short distances with only a little support now. It is still a big effort but I can see the improvements.
Scott seems to be about the same or maybe worse as far as kidney function goes. The problem is that his stomach issues are persisting and getting rid of fluids through other avenues(not the kidneys). The dialysis is still going on. Scott went to get a permanent line for dialysis put in yesterday instead of the annoying, floppy, temporary one in his neck. Unfortunately, due to Scott's anatomy they couldn't do it where they wanted to so it didn't get done. I'm not sure yet if there are other options.
I forgot to note that last week Scott had another biopsy with ZERO rejection! Thank goodness something has gone smoothly so far. Scott's white blood cell count was up a little yesterday also, which is good. The 2 issues now are kidneys in the long term and "the runs" in the short term. There would be very little to complain about or be in the hospital for if it weren't for those 2 things. So we'll just keep praying like everything depends on the Lord and working like everything depends on us!
