Kidneys

The last chemo has set Johns kidneys back. He is having water retention problems. Pray that in the next three weeks that his kidney could rebound and could be ready for the transplant. When he retains too much fluid his lungs have a tendency to fill up, kind of like an asthma attack. His creatinin counts are higher than they have been for awhile.

I can't believe what the human body can endure in the name of healing. We will continue to pray for John and that all will go well and the transplant will happen as scheduled. May God's blessing be upon you.

For every drug or treatment there seems to be a bunch of side effects, which them also need meds which then...well you know.
We are continuing to lift you up in prayer.

Sorry to hear about the kidney issues. I was thinking the same thing Becky, but you said it all.
