We were excitedly waiting for a month long visit with grandma and grandpa V. We had day trips scheduled and I had visions of trips out with no kiddos complete with lunch with friends and pedicures and manicures.
Dad hadn't been feeling well though. He had bronchitis and he wasnt getting better. On Sat Feb 23rd he was having trouble breathing and we brought him to the hospital. He was in the hospital 11 days. He was diagnosed with renal failure. He came home going to dialysis 3 days a week and on oxygen.
March was a hard month figuring everything out. Dad got off oxygen. During dialysis they took off about 150 lbs of water - he hadn't been feeling well for quite some time. He had surgery to get a fistula, they straightened out meds, and he started to feel better. Now we are working on doing dialysis from home, dad going back to work and getting on the kidney transplant list.
It's been a rough time for everyone... Thankfully grandma and grandpa were here for the month of March to help us.
Dad and I are thankful each day for all 5 of you. You bring so much love and hope to each and every moment of our life.
