Tuesday, Tuesday

The Old Man had his quarterly visit to the heart failure center today.  He got a great report on his heart, but a not so good report on his kidneys.  There was a decrease in kidney function since his last visit there in September.  But the doctors think it's due to the Prednisone he was in in October, November and part of December that affected his kidneys.  The doctor took him off of all OTC things he was taking, and took him off of one of his blood pressure meds - she thinks that might be contributing to the kidney issues.  Anyhoo, we go back in a week for more blood work to see if there has been any improvement in kidney function, or at least no more decrease.  And we go back to the heart failure center in four weeks. 

We've prayed him through worse than this in the past years with his bypass surgery and his aneurysm repair, so we both are feeling confidant that once again the Great Physician will take care of this.
