Every thing went well during the procedure this morning to place the line in John for the dialysis. While he was gone for that, imagine my surprise when the technicians showed up with the dialysis machine and proceeded to set that up. I was not aware that they would be starting it right away today. He has been on the machine for a couple of hours now and should be finished soon. He will have more tomorrow. I guess they like to start out slow and gentle. He should start to feel better in the next couple of days and I hope that he starts eating. He has not been eating much.
There, his nurse is gowning up and must be getting ready to disconnect him. He cannot get the line put in for the peritoneal dialysis until next week Friday. I think he has decided that he will opt for that. He is really not saying much. Pretty quiet, but I guess, really, what is there to say.
Last night my blogging friend, Shelia, came and she took me out for dinner. We had a really nice visit. I think we could have sat up all night and just talked. I wish I could take her back home with me to Canada. Maybe she would like to become a Canadian? You know, every now and then you meet somebody that you just click with. She is like that. Thanks Shelia. Just to get out for an evening gave me a boost.

I am glad the dialysis is working smoothly. although it's hard to be glad for something you prayed wouldn't happen. I am sad for John. I can't imagine what must be going through his mind.
So happy that you and Sheila could get together. I think she should move here too. She is friends with so many of us on FB, I think we should make her an Honorary Braun.
Love you Chris and John. Give each other a hug for me!
You guys are so sweet! Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad John is already getting his dialysis and hopefully it will help him feel better.
Thanks Chris for going out with me. I've been wanting to go to PF Chang's ever since I went in January while in Maryland. It was a wonderful dinner and I enjoyed the lovely relaxing time at your place afterwords. I'm so glad we could finally get together and sorry if I kept you up too late.
Thanks, Sue, for your vote of confidence. What you said the other day got me all tearie eyed. I do really feel like part of your family and can't wait to meet you all. I will definitely make plans to come to Saskatchewan.
Yeah I agree with Mom! I really want to meet you too!! You are a great person!! Cindi and I were talking about how when Chloe and Thomas were born that Uncle John was in the hospital too.In some ways it's too bad cuz then at least we could keep eachother a bit of company while we are waiting for things to work out.Oh well at least there is facebook. Hopefully tomorrow afternoon the baby will be here! Love you guys and still praying for you!
