Monday - Day 26

Good Morning, All!!

I'm back!!!  For those of you who don't know, I have been out of town for the past week, but came back late yesterday, and spent a couple of hours with Jack at the hospital last night. 

While I was there, the kidney doctor (renal specialist, for those of you who are not "medically challenged") came in the room with the wonderful news that Jack would probably not have to endure any more dialysis.  The kidneys are slowly, but surely coming up to speed, but they are the last "link" in what has become a very long chain.

He has been spending some time each day with the physical therapist (after laying in bed for three weeks, it's almost like having to learn to walk all over again), and he seems to be getting stronger by the day.

Sandra and Darcus have continued to "rotate" nights at the hospital (it must be a Tolliver thing; they aren't going to allow him to spend the night at the hospital alone, and I am very proud of them both!), but the end is in sight.

The latest is that if things to continue to progress as they have been, we're looking at getting Jack "outta there" the middle of this week!!!  YAAAAAYEEEEEE!!!!!

We'll let you know more as we move through the week.
