After his fistula procedure.

Miss Tanzi was scared of the goodies attached to her Daddy, and for the first few minutes she wouldn't touch him. Eventually she hopped on the bed and was back to her normal bubbly self!
The procedure went well and the fistula is looking good. For the first four days after surgery he was in alot of pain(mainly from the lumen dialysis port that was put in his neck) but now he is feeling alot better .... although he still can't lift his right arm above his head(it's too painful).

Say no to toxins!

As I write this, Boyd is having his second haemodialisis. After his first one he sms'd me " I feel great, it feels like I have rocket fuel in my blood!" He also commented "I am even thinking clearer."

Picture of good health..............

This pic was taken 3 weeks ago.......................................


Today Boyd's vascular surgeon told him that he looked too healthy to have kidney failure! I agree.... this 41 year old (who is starting dialysis tomorrow morn) looks in blooming good shape!!!! hehe ........ I believe it's his good mental state, people's ardent prayers and God's grace that are sustaining him. Thank you Jesus.

Boyd had the fistula procedure done in his wrist today.Because his creatinine levels have sky rocketed and the fistula will only be ready for use in 6-8 weeks, they had to do an emergency neck catheter so that he can start dialysis tomorrow. Once the fistula is mature(6-8 weeks), they will dialysise through the veins/artuaries in his arm twice a week.

keep ya posted ......

Prep. for dialysis......

As I write this, Boyd will be coming out of theater. He went in to have a fistula created in his wrist so that he can start dialysis as soon as possible.
