Update on brother ...

I asked a prayer chain that I use, for emergency prayer yesterday. I tried calling my SIL on their landline, no answer. I'd forgotten her cell phone number so I had to wait until I got home. I tried both the landline and the cell and both went to voice mail. I called my sister and she said that she spoke with Jim. He's had 2 more dialysis treatments and they got his lungs stablized. Finally they listened to him. He had said from the get-go that one of the new meds after he had his stroke was messing him up. That's when his stomach and appetite went south. My sister told him to take Prisolec but he ended up in the hospital a few weeks ago and left AMA. Of course that landed him back. Fast forward they injected the med into his IV line as a test and then again subcutaneously and it immediately affected his lungs again. He's allergic to the med! So Jim is listening to them now. They told him that he can go home in 3 or 4 days. He'll continue the dialysis on an outpatient basis at a place close to him instead of at the hospital. I don't know if the dialysis is permanent or if they can bring his numbers up. Thank you for your prayers and well-wishes! Cathy
