A GREAT DAY CONTINUES

4PM....

They were finally able to get the A-line in Ron. They had to use a special doppler machine to get it in....even with that it took a while...but it's done...that is all that matters. They have removed the one he had in his leg..so hopefully he will be in a chair by later this evening. The renal doctors have confirmed with the cardiothoracic surgeons they will go ahead and start him on hemodialysis later today or tomorrow depending on how long the CRRT machines decides to run..once it clogs ..which is does often...they will stop it then and begin hemodialysis. We had a visit from Santa today...he was making his rounds through the hospital. Ron really enjoyed the visit. Santa gave us a teddy bear and asked what we wanted for Christmas....I am sure everyone knows what we asked for .....nothing but good health for the coming year ....that would be the ultimate gift for us!
