Kyle, Thanks for updating us on your dad's condition. We will send prayers his way for a complete recovery.

Re: My pop!
 

OK here is the latest! Around 430pm today they will install a tempoary tube for dialysis. He will be in ICU after that for how long I dont know? He is on two different STRONG antibiotics for his blood infection. They are hoping that the dialysis will clean his blood and then his kidneys & liver will refire the way they should? Lets hope so.

Thank you very much for the thoughts and prayers!!

Ok another update! Pop had his first round of dialysis it was a short treatment only about two hrs. He will have a few more hoping to clean out the infection. He is now in ICU he had a ct scan this evening on his abdomen.

Re: My pop!
 

Kyle, When my kidneys shut down, I was placed on dialysis for 7 days... at least that is what I was told. I don't remember it. The good news is they did start working again.

I'm still hoping your dad makes fast recovery!

Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the update Kyle. The news sounds better. I hope your dad continues to improve.

Re: My pop!
 

Here is another update from today. He is not putting out alot of fluid so they may not do dialysis tomorrow. His speaking is getting better also.
Thats all I know for today!

Kyle

Re: My pop!
 

Kyle, your Dad and your family remain in my prayers. Keep the faith, sometimes the recovery process is a slow steady move forward. Glad to hear your Dad is showing improvement.

Re: My pop!
 

Kyle just texted me an update on Harvey and asked me to pass it along:

"Here is the latest on my pops. He is jaundiced but folks are optimistic. He has had more bloodwork done and we are awaiting the results. His liver is the worry now."

The Gilbert clan is still keeping Pops in out thoughts and prayers.

Re: My pop!
 

Kyle,
Sounds like he's improving a little more each day. I will continue to keep him and your family in my prayers. Keep the faith and stay positive. Hope to see you at Bloomington Friday! :6:

Heres the latest on pop! looks like some Ecoli got him down & we didnt know it. He is being transferred to St Vincent on 86th in Indy today! He is in Indy and is now having a hida scan.

Re: My pop!
 

Ok here is the latest news. very little change I guess He is still jaundice he is still undergoing dialysis 4hrs today. The Dr's seem to think that when he had his gall bladder out the Dr. may have nicked his liver. It could also be one of his liver ducts clogged? With all the infection they are having quite the time diserning what excatly is wrong. All I know is that he is the right place to get better now!!

Kyle

Re: My pop!
 

OK here is the latest. I went up to see pop today he seemed alot more "happy"! He feels very optimistic about his care and where he is at now thats the good thing. He is less juandiced than when he was here. He is still on dialysis he is having a upper GI scope in the morning to look at his stomache they feel he may have a ulcer. They are going to check his liver ducts as well they feel they may be clogged.

Kyle

Re: My pop!
 

OK!

Here is the latest on pop. He went in for a upper GI scope yesterday and had 4hrs of dialysis as well. While doing the scope the noticed a blockage in one of his liver ducts. They removed the blockage and all his relative test scores went the way there supposed to go. He finally slept all night last night which is good. Now we are on to getting the kidneys to fire back up then all is well. Yeah thats all just restart a 72 year old mans kidneys easy to do right.:)
