Dad's progress has been slower than hoped for due to his problem swallowing. His heart seems to be doing fine, but until he can get the nutrition he needs, he can't gain the necessary strength to recover from the bypass surgery. He has been moved to the Portneuf Medical Center West Campus, 4th floor, room 14 for further testing. They want to do some CT scans, etc., which can only be done at West Campus, to try to determine why he can't swallow.
They had trouble last week doing the full four hour sessions of dialysis because Dad's blood pressure kept dropping too low. They were finally able to do a full session on Thursday. Hopefully, they will also be able to figure out what causes his blood pressure to drop during dialysis.
Thank you all for your continued concern and prayers for our family. We love and appreciate you all.
