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.

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.

Doctor' say they have the correct antibiotics fighting the infection. He was finally a little hungury today 1st time since wednesday. He also lifted one of his legs today which was a great. With all this news the Drs feel that the kidneys will make a recovery.
