Today's appointment was just a check up with Dr. Brown. Steve's blood pressure is still fluctuating up and down. She adjusted the medicine today and we will see how that goes. He had another headache today. Still not sure why. Dr. Brown wants us to talk with the case worker at KU and set up something either in August or September with the hemo home dialysis. St. Joe does not do hemo at home. We are thinking about doing it at North Kansas City, which KU said that would be fine and closer for us.

We are going to try and wait until after the wedding to see her again. So for now probably won't be much to tell. His potassium this week was back in range 4.8 and creatinine was 5.2. The clearance is hanging in there at 13% this week last month it was 12%. They will begin dialysis at 10% or less. His energy level some days is good but he said he can tell a difference and some days it is just not there.

We have purchased a new mower which he just loves. I think our grass was cut 3 times last week. The purpose of this new machine was to cut the mowing time down. As of last week our mowing acreage increased. We now move from our house to the neighbors house. This is not how the mowing was suppose to work.


Keep forming the line for donors to be tested and keep praying that dialysis won't be as long as we think.

Christy, Steve & girls
