Pray, pray, pray
Tom will be evaluated by a surgeon today to determine whether he can handle the surgery. This is a show stopping evaluation so please pray that this will go well. Just so you know this is based on the surgeons availability so it could be midnight before he comes by and may not make it today.
There is good news on the kidneys - his creatinine is down again today. Having the kidneys is good working order helps support the liver so the docs are pleased about that. The doctors seem to think that when they pulled 7-8 liters of fluid from his abdomen last weekend inthat it really upset the kidneys. So its been crucial to get them in good working order before anything else can happen.
They gave Tom a unit of blood this morning and are talking about removing some more fluid from his abdomen today.
Support is cry important so Cathy is staying with me so the docs know that Tom has a good support team. I am so relieved she is here.
After the surgeon gives his ok, lots of testing will start - putting Tom through the ringer. Pray that he will persevere.
More later.
