Good Report!!

Sawyer sitting in one of his favorite birthday gifts.

     We believe the gas pocket, which was causing excruciating pain as it pressed into Sawyer's diaphragm, is GONE.  For the last two days, he has been pain free! 

     This is a huge blessing and relief.   The nagging, sharp pain was taking its toll.  Now, Sawyer is much more active, playful, and regaining his sense of humor.   Love it!

     Here's another good report…   This week, he has had successful dialysis treatments, which really helps with his blood pressure and so much more.  His blood pressure is trending down so much that it is hovering just above a normal range! 

     The dialysis has been going so well that he has been able to reduce the amount of time he is tethered to the machine from 12 hours a day to 10.  Two hours makes a huge difference!

     Although it was a real bummer to have the doctors give up on his kidneys this week, overall, it's been a great week.  Sawyer even played a little soccer yesterday. 

     Karen and I are so grateful for your continued prayers and support.  We know God is listening.  We also trust that He is using Sawyer's kidney failure for His glory and Sawyer's good (and our good too).
