could use a few prayers
I'm at the ICU with my dad. He is a kidney recipient, but due to some infections, that kidney is failing. If they can't get it working again, we have decided not to do any dialysis. If that happens, it's just a matter of time...
We could use a few prayers, thanks.

Thanks guys, it means a lot. He's resting comfortably, but it's just a matter of time. He's still fighting though.

Re: could use a few prayers
I'm not going to be overly optimistic, but my dad's kidney has started working again, and seems to be doing it's job. However, there is a lot to be worried about still. If he can't take in fluids on his own, he will continue to decline. And if he recovers, he will still have to be treated for what we think caused all the damage, called wegeners granulamotosis. This almost killed him back in the 80's, and he tested positive for it. I'm not sure if he is strong enough to get through the treatment, though.
I'm grateful for all the prayers and thoughts, they do seem to be working.

Re: could use a few prayers
We have taken him off of the antibiotics. His breathing has become tougher due to water surrounding his lungs.
Not sure how much more time he has. We are just making him comfortable now.
Thank you for your prayers and thoughts. They are comforting to our family.

Re: could use a few prayers
Glenn, when you first posted this about your father, I went to my knife roll and got out the little Eye Brand whittler that my daddy gave me years ago and thatbyou rehandled for me. I've carried and/or left it here on my man table in the living room ever sense to remind me to pray for your daddy and for you.
Hang in there.

I did the same thing Colonel - Glenn recently returned 3 knives that were in his shop for some time and the Remington Scout has been in my pocket since the news of his dad surfaced. At times we all need reminders that life is precious.

Re: could use a few prayers
Thanks guys. I am proud of all the knives I work on, but the ones I do related to family or that are special to people really mean a lot to me also. They are reminders of memories, and can bring them up when we sometimes forget them.
