Marky is in my thoughts and prayers, along with you and your family Mark... It sounds as though he is responding well to treatment, and that you and he are in good hands! May the good news continue!!! Don _______________________ Living the Dream... One Day at a Time. | |||

Glad he's improving! Hope you and the family are doing okay with all the sudden stress and worry that this has surely brought. Will this change the treatment plan for his underlying kidney issue? _________________________ Their system of ethics, which regards treachery and violence as virtues rather than vices, has produced a code of honour so strange and inconsistent, that it is incomprehensible to a logical mind. -Winston Churchill, writing of the Pashtun | |||

Marky was moved from ICU to a regular room. The nephrologist here is working with his nephrologist at home. No planned changes to the treatment except adding blood pressure control. He's talking up a storm right now. Seems to be his old self. Just waiting for him to try to kick us out of his room. | |||

Such great news. I can only imagine the relief you all feel. Whew! | |||

You're going to feel a little pressure... |
So glad to hear he's acting like himself again. You must be so relieved! I always feel awful when we fly a kid and we can't take the parent along. It's one of the arguments I keep using for getting us a bigger helicopter. Here's to him getting better each day. Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||

Marky is still in the hospital. They can't seem to get his blood pressure where they want it without IV medication. They are trying to control it with oral meds that he can take at home but so far nothing seems to be working properly. Yesterday was a perfect, boring, uneventful day at the hospital. | |||

This actually makes sense. For a small subset of the population that has a kidney disorder, high salt can raise BP. For the majority, it's the opposite. You see, when your system gets low on sodium, your kidneys react to that state by retaining water, so you don't pee out too much more sodium, which makes things worse. What does all that extra water do? Raise your BP. It's a simple test.. If you have high BP, go nuts with a bag of potato chips, heavily salt things, and check your BP throughout the day for about a week or so. The whole salt raises BP thing was another small study that was extrapolated out to the general population. | |||

They're moving Marky back to ICU. His blood pressure isn't responding to medication. They said it's not unexpected and mostly precautionary. | |||

That video is outstanding ...I'm still keeping Marky and the whole clan in my prayers...plus the outstanding care givers there. May God continue to strengthen and bless each of you as the doctors and staff get this sorted out and under control. ******************************************************** "we've gotta roll with the punches, learn to play all of our hunches Making the best of what ever comes our way Forget that blind ambition and learn to trust your intuition Plowing straight ahead come what may And theres a cowboy in the jungle" Jimmy Buffet | |||
