Emergency Dialysis?
Brody's kidney function is still poor. Its estimated that his kidney function is about 15%. Since his kidneys are still producing urine and maintaining an okay balance of electrolytes, they say that dialysis for his chronic kidney disease is still not necessary. However, if his kidneys don't start producing more urine than they have today they may have to do emergency dialysis which will likely be temporary as long as his can maintain a good balance on his electrolytes. We will be watching him very closely. I feel a little more confident in the staff as the day has progressed. Also, I took off for a couple hours and got some rest. So I'm feeling much better too. Now if we can just get Brody feeling better too, we'll be set.
