Hi Shell!
***massive hugs***
I have only just seen this post now, I am sorry that I didn't write to you sooner! I am so sorry that your Dad isn't doing very well and that you are having to deal with such a stressful situation while Shane is away!
It sounds like good news from your Update # 1 that his numbers seem to be more stable than they were last night, so I will keep him in my thoughts and you as well!
If you ever want to chat, you have my eMail and I will send you my cell number if you ever want to hear a friendly voice just let me know!
Lots of love, and good thoughts!
**more hugs**
Steph

Big Hugs Shell!! I'm sorry to hear your dad is so ill!
There is a certain agony that doctors make the families go through, waiting for results and diagnosis. I understand how you feel as both my mom and grandma are ill and partially undiagnosed as to why too.
I'll add him and you to my prayers.

Well, he is really is a scary place right now....... one side of his heart is not working right, which is causing the flow to be really messed up, therefore the kidneys are not working..... his kidneys are only working at 10%, they started him on new meds to help the heart and hopefully the kidney will follow......he needs to get back to at least 30% or he will end up dialysis (3 days a week for 4 hours at a time FOR LIFE). His blood sugar dropped to the 70's again and they are playing with his insulin levels to see how his body reacts to different amounts. He got up to go to the bathroom and on the return to the bed he got very short of breath and he kinda freaked out.... they now have him on oxygen. That is all for now.....

Hang in there, Shell.
Also, just for a little hope: I do know of someone whose kidney function came back, so he was able to quit dialysis! If it comes to that, there might be a road back.
