A Blessed Day

NANCY STOOD TODAY!

The day started with me showing up at the hospital to find an empty room where Nancy should have been.  She had been taken to have the catheter for the dialysis replaced.  Her nurse wasn't sure how long it would take and said she might go straight to dialysis.  He agreed to call me when she got back to her room.  So I left and came back here to the house.  Nancy called at about 1:30 to say she was back in her room.

I traveled back to the hospital.  They were unable to get the new catheter in so that is why she was back in her room.  They said they would retry tomorrow.  After about 20 minutes they came to get her.  They said they had a cancellation and were going to try the catheter again.  So I came back to the house.  Nancy called about 3:30 to say she was back in her room.  They decided it was too soon to try the catheter. 

I traveled back to the hospital.  As I was walking down the hall to her room I saw them wheel a gurney into the room.  They were coming to take her for dialysis.  We spoke for about a minute and she told me that the physical and occupational therapists had been in and she had stood up twice.  They took her for dialysis and I returned to the house.  Since dialysis takes about 4 hours haven't heard from her. 

Princess, Nancy's cat, has enjoyed my being here most of the day.  Every so often she will hunt me down to get her head rubbed and scratched.  She and I have been doing a little bonding while I have been here.  She has decided that I'm not such a bad guy but still not a replacement for Nancy. 

Thanks to everyone for their prayers and support.  Please continue to pray that Nancy's kidneys will begin to work on their own and that she will continue to make progress as she moves to rehab.  That move will probably take place tomorrow.  She is schedule to go to Taylor Hospital for rehab.
