Tough

We managed through another day without dialysis. I know I should be thankful for that, but a part of me feels like we should focus on trying to preserve what little bit of kidney function he has. Then we can focus on the next step--transplant. I'm hoping to get some time with the Renal Team tomorrow to discuss the long-term plan for Brody. Also today, our nurse was finally able to draw the attention of the doctors to that poor injured arm. Its quite swollen, very bruised, and completely immobilized. They did repeat x-rays and ultrasounds and still did not find anything wrong with it. However, they seem a little disturbed that the arm appears to be getting progressively worse and so they are watching it closely. Through the day, I've seen more of "Brody" than I've seen in a while. He would get upset with nurses and x-ray techs and begin to kick and thrash around. That shows me that his "permanent" mental status may be improving some. I love to see the fight in him. He may only be 3 feet tall, but he's one of the toughest people I know!
