Hi everyone, Walt was taken down to surgery this morning for insertion of his dialysis catheter/line/tube/pipe or whatever-the-hell it's called. I saw him in his room and accompanied him down to the prep unit. He was asleep and shaking quite a bit. The nurse in the surgery prep says the shaking is probably from the combination of brain injury, infection, and renal failure and hopefully once dialysis starts to kick in, he will begin to recover. Hopefully they'll start the dialysis today. He's real sick right now.
The plan is to bring the dialysis machine into his room so they don't have to transport him back and forth to the dialysis unit.
On an encouraging note, I saw the two residents on the floor this morning; the same two from yesterday. Dr. Howard and Dr. Fine(Remember "Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard" for you 3 Stooges fans out there). Anyway, under the their capable collective watchful eye, Walt is getting some continuity of care.
What we need now is Dr. Bombay!
Regards,
Cousin Rick

This site is a God send. We are so grateful that we can check on Walter's condition every day by just logging onto this site. Walter has been, and will continue to be in our prayers daily. He is a fighter and we know he's fighting right now to get back to the family he loves so much.
Patty, Lindsay, Brian - hang tough - he'll be back with you before you know it.
