Randy had his 3rd dialysis this afternoon even though he doesn't think he needs it......he says he feels fine. The numbers were extremely high again this morning so it was necessary. He is looking better so it must be working somewhat. His regular cardiologist had been out of town for the holidays and just got back today. He came to the hospital to check on him about noon today and we feel better that he's back in town and can care for Randy. Heart monitor, EKG & blood work showed some kind of problem yesterday but Randy wasn't having any chest pain. Records have been requested from Duke to compare with what's going on now. Randy keeps insisting he is ready to go home but both the kidney and heart doctor say he is a very sick man.
Thanks to everyone for your concern and prayers. We really appreciate it.
Carl and Harry have been doing a good job relaying updates.
