It's hard for me to express how I am feeling this morning. I was standing by his door and he waved to me. I couldn't get my gown on fast enough to get right beside him and when I did, he smiled. It was incredible!!
Dennis will be getting his breathing tube out today. He is breathing well on his own. He is also get a more "permanent" kidney dialysis line inserted in his clavicle. He will have the one in his groin removed so that he can start moving his legs. His kidneys are starting to wake up but it may take some time before they are functioning well ... until then he will get dialysis. He's not running anymore infections so he should be off isolation today.
Praise God!

We rejoice with you, Eunice! I cried when I read your blog (I'm a day behind)and am so thankful you have a glimmer of hope to cling to. These past weeks have been a real rollercoaster for you, so I'm praying that things will be a little more even from this point on. We love you and look forward to the day when you can be with your family and not live in this stress of emotions. Please eat, get some sleep, sit in the sunshine and breathe in some semi-polluted but relatively germ-free fresh air!!
tears in my eyes! wonderful news..!!!
