As Bill O’Reilly would report, you are entering the NO SPIN ZONE…

Here’s a quick report of our trip to UCSF today.

As previously reported, last week Irene’s nephrologist, Dr. Surinder Kumar, who is overseeing Irene’s dialysis treatment, strongly urged her to consult with Dr. Charles Eichler at UCSF, “sooner rather than later” regarding the function of the recently installed Cimino Fistula.  He told Irene that the fistula was not functioning correctly.  Then, today, one of the dialysis nurses informed Irene that “perhaps” she had a blood blot in the fistula region.

Now, I don’t want to exaggerate, but Dr. Eichler spent…oh, about 10 seconds checking Irene and verified that the Cimino Fistula is functioning PERFECTLY at this stage following the recent surgical procedure.

Taking the high road, and without further commentary, we will conclude and report that it is better to be safe than sorry!!!!  Now, wasn’t that nicely stated…?   

On a positive note, prior to the brief consultation with Dr. Eichler we had the privilege of visiting and praying with Scott Halverson (who works at Mount Hermon Christian Conference Center) who is battling cancer and is admitted at UCSF.  Scott’s strong faith and supportive family are a true testimony to the glory of God!!!!

We continue with NO SPIN on Irene’s journey of faith!!!

Thanks for caring.
