Surgery #35 and A Report From Rounds

Dad's in surgery now.

Rounds

Dr. Kozar was one of the Dr.'s who made rounds this morning.

A little background on Dr. Kozar: She is very blunt(at times bleak) and in the beginning we weren't even sure we liked her. Not knowing who she was, I was shocked to learn that she's referred to as "The Next Red Duke". and is the Chief of Trauma. It was then that I realized that we needed to toughen up a bit. Some doctors are gentler than others, but really what's most important is that dad's in the absolute best place and has the most skilled providers.

Dr. Kozar had not seen dad in quite some time and she was absolutely amazed by this progress. Dad is on C-PAP, his blood pressure is still good, he's making lot more urine - good news for his kidneys, and his liver function is better as well. Neither his kidneys nor liver are working well enough - YET, but it is still overall improvement. Today's consensus is "EVERYTHING is moving in the right direction".

Please continue to pray, and I'll see you guys at then benefit on Saturday!
