They placed the nephrostomy tubes in both John's kidneys this morning and it went as well as it possibly could. Whew! John's kidneys are functioning but he will probably be keeping these tubes. They attach to a bag(s) (think colostomy only the other side) which will be emptied as needed, probably 4-5 times/day when things settle down.
So we have been given a little more time together, hopefully quality, comfortable time for John. My cousin Kathy (who lives in North Vancouver) and John's fraternity brother Rick Westover have been here. As I type, it's 1:10 in the afternoon, John's sleepy and life for the moment is very good. I'll try to keep this as up to date as possible.
In the meantime, my love and gratitude to Kathy, Rick and all of you for your support and prayers...We are so blessed to have you...Nancy
