Elaine had a good day yesterday. They switched one of her nausea medications and it worked great. She walked out in the hall and went further then the day before. She got up again in the afternoon and walked again then sat up for a while. While she sat up she ate some chocolate peanut butter ice cream. She got some good calories in and even thought it tasted good. We thought she was going to do dialysis but they decided she could skip. Yay! They think her kidneys are working a little better and she may be able to switch to taking a pill rather then do dialysis so often.

Last night Elaine had a tough time sleeping. They missed her nausea medication so she got a little sick.

Even with the restless night Elaine got up and walked a little the morning and then sat up for over an hour. Of course the hour was a little against her will since the therapist said he would be back in 45 minutes and never came. She wasn't to pleased but Lynn and the nurse got her to bed. I am sure the next therapists won't get to leave without a blood commitment that they will be back. :)

Lynn and Elaine both appreciate the cards and notes of encouragement they receive in the mail from you all. Lynn reads every one to her and it lifts both their spirits to know how many people are thinking of them. They love you all and are so thankful you take the time to write. From our whole family thank you so much for your friendship and thoughtfulness.
