Quick Update…….
Irene’s dialysis treatment with the newly installed Cimino Fistula went well. The technicians encouraged Irene with levity as she endured the first “shot” creating what they call the “button hole” for access. They used the existing catheter in her chest for the “in” line and the Cimino Fistula in her arm for the “out” line. In the coming weeks, as the “button hole” with the fistula becomes routine, they will exclusively use the Fistula and will terminate use of the catheter. At some time in the near future the catheter will be surgically removed.
Irene enjoyed the day and appreciates your continued support on her journey of faith.
Thanks for caring,
Dave
