a mass found on her kidney that was going to be the donor kidney...the Doctors believe it looks like a benign tumor on the CT but they, of course, want to do a biopsy this coming week. We praise God that it was found for her sake, and prayers need to be said asking if she wants to still go through with this, if it is benign and how Kev feels about all of it....This was not expected but Providence, just the same. Kev is blessed to have other live donors; they would have to start the tests and etc.
Also, on Tuesday his double lumen that accesses the hemodialysis did not look normal so, they cultured it and started treatment. But, of course, with a kidney system in failure how much treatment can his system clear.
....so they talk with the Dr tomorrow and they may have to pull the lumen's and obtain peritoneal access again for dialysis. This is what got infected the very first week he had that placed in November and gave him peritonitis. So, naturally, he feels defeated, of course but they are glad the tumor was found on the donors kidney.
They trust God is the Sovereign God and He will work this out....they do trust Him but when things go wrong sometimes it seems more than one thing goes wrong. He does have a backup donor that they had started some of the tests on. It happens to be one of his best friends while he grew up in Ohio....so that would be ironic and a God providing again.,bringing them together "way back then"
.... I called his Dad at work at the ER so he could pray all night since he will be awake while we all sleep....We just ask for grace and knowledge and timing and faith that all things will occur as God is directing. They have 2 little girls that have gone through this with them....precious but worried about their Daddy....and his wife is precious and faithful.....we love them beyond this world!....Thanks for praying for them.....we hope to know something soon......
and yes, we made the quilt....it is records that everyone signed at the "walk" we had for him this summer.....they use it all the time to cuddle with now..... Quilted Blessings!
