I know it has been a while since the last post, not much to tell. Steve has had the fistula in his arm for two weeks. He was suppose to have a check up today but they called and canceled early this morning due to an emergency. To put it mildly he was not happy, but the good thing was he got to plant corn today instead of going to the doctor.

He is still having headaches at least once a week. Still don't know why. His blood pressure is good so that is not it. When he gets one he has to come to the house and sit down. His creatinine was 5.4 as well as the potassium today. It just keeps slowly edging up. He is always so tired, he falls asleep anytime he sits down for a few minutes. I am hoping that once he gets on dialysis it makes him feel so much better. I hope it is so good that he will say I should have done this a long time ago. HA!

He will be doing another ultrasound this week to compare to the one he had in February. We are assuming if all is the same nothing changes but if it looks different they may want to get the kidney out sooner. We will just have to wait and see.

If they could just get more crops planted I think he would feel better. The rain just won't stop. Today was only the 3rd or 4th day they have been able to plant and they are calling for a 30 to 40 percent change of rain tonight. Repeat of last year.

Hope everyone is well. We appreciate all the prayers. People tell me all the time that they are praying for him. Keep it up.
