Dan went to see his nephrologist on Monday and the doctor said he looked much better. His color is better, he is not as pale. They drew blood to do more tests and options for dialysis were discussed. Since Dan says he will NOT do Peritoneal, we discussed Hemodyalisis. For Hemodialysis a vascular surgeon has to set up a port in his arm where during dialysis they put two needles, one to take blood out and one to put it back in. Luckily, they are letting him wait till he recovers fully!
Today we went to see the surgeon so he could check his healing progress and it looked great! We may not have to go next week if we see that it is closing nicely.
We will have to make a decision late next week as to when to do the port in his arm, but right now we are just enjoying the healing process!!!
