Doing the Snoopy Happy Dance

DIALYSIS IS OVER!!!!!  Nancy didn't have dialysis today and they are taking out the dialysis catheter.  Now we just have to wait and see if she starts voiding her bladder.  They are going to remove the catheter tomorrow and see what happens.  If she doesn't start voiding her bladder they will have to put it back.  We don't want that.

We are starting to plan for her discharge from the hospital.  It is now scheduled for August 9.  We have ordered a transfer board and bed pads to facilitate transferring her to and from the wheelchair.  We are also starting to plan our work around here to get her ready to move to Virginia.  I've been working here to get the house ready for her return.  She is not going to recognize the place.

Her therapy today went very good.  I got there in time to make one of the transfers so the therapist could observe and give me pointers.  I'm going tomorrow to work on the transfer to the commode.  Since she doesn't have a bathroom on the first floor she will have to use a commode for a while.

Please keep her in your prayers and thanks for your continuing prayers and support.
