A psalm of David

1 Blessed are those who have regard for the weak;
the LORD delivers them in times of trouble.
2 The LORD protects and preserves them—
they are counted among the blessed in the land—
he does not give them over to the desire of their foes.
3 The LORD sustains them on their sickbed
and restores them from their bed of illness.

Psalm 41:1-3

Thanks for checking in…!!!

Irene did well with the revised fistula at dialysis today.  This is a HUGE development!

We’re very grateful for UCSF and Dr. Charles Eichler’s surgical expertise.

She’s still experiencing NUMBNESS in the fingertips of her right hand but we obviously hope that this diminishes over time.

She’s recovering this evening from a very rigorous week.

Thanks for caring…and rejoice with us…!!!

Irene was discharged from UCSF late this morning and is now resting at home.  She’s still using heavy pain meds and the numbing continues in the fingertips of her right hand.  We’re obviously hoping this awkwardness goes away quickly…!!!

Dr. Eichler said that the fistula revision can contempate use tomorrow at dialysis.  Hopefully the colossal pain she was feeling will now be minimized…only time will tell.

She’s scheduled to be re-examined by Dr. Eichler at UCSF on August 18th.

Thanks for your continued care and prayer,
Dave
