Good afternoon,

Today is a good day.  They just took him to surgery to remove the
emergency line from his grion and put in a more permanent one in his
chest.  At least he will be able to get out of bed and move
around.  He has complained all morning because they did not give him
breakfast due to the surgical procedure that  was suppose to be done
this morning at 8:30 .  Now he has missed lunch and he is not a happy
camper.....they may just put a few stitches in his mouth before
bringing him back...LOL but things are looking better every day. He
is much stronger, and is in good spirits .....if they keep him
fed.  Those steriods sure make him hungry.  Still no biopsy results
but hopefully tomorrow we will know.  No dialysis today because of
the surgery but tomorrow he will be back on dialysis.  Still unable
to make urine but being on dialysis that is not uncommon.   I brought
him a computer to the hospital last night so he could catch up on
what is going on with everyone on the list but it was late so maybe
tomorrow he will be sending messages.  Talk to you later, Mary
