Thank you!! (ATM Update)

I want to thank those of you that sent prayers, and of course they worked!! They are releasing him this morning, his cumin level is down to a 3... Not the 5 that it was(needs to be zero at the moment) and they gave him transfusions through the night. He will report to the dialysis center and the dr tomorrow morning to find out what needs to be done with his fistula, and to determine what new meds interacted with the cumin. He is still coughing up some blood and bleeding a bit, but hopefully the platelets he received will continue to bring his levels down. His spirits are good, (back to fussing and being ornery) so hopefully the worst is over. Again, thank you to EVERYONE for the prayers and pm's with offers to help. We appreciate everyone of you!!!

very good news, hope all goes well from here on out....

Now that's a good one WB. Actually I got all these good looks the old fashioned way. Genetics, healthy diet, and exercise. I am on dialysis 3 days a week. A fistula is when they take a vein in your upper arm and sew it to the artery inside your elbow. With this arterial pressure blood flowing through the vein it causes it to enlarge as it matures. Once it matures it makes for a blood rich target for them to stick you with two paneling nail size needles to hook you to the dialysis machine. Out of all this I did learn I can squirt blood clear across a room and not faint. Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers.

Glad you are feeling better ATM !!!

Great news.

Had us worried for a while, glad you're back home, and with a caring woman bye the way.
