Not too much new with Chris which is why I haven't posted. He is still getting dialysis 3 times per week but is also making some of his own urine which is a good sign. They are watching lab values now and sometimes will skip a day (although they usually have to dialyse him the next day) to see how he does. He still has trouble with his catheter clotting but I am sure they want to see how long he is going to need this before they put in a new one.

He has had two swallow evaluations and failed the first one but passed the second one for being able to swallow soft foods (maybe pureed - didn't get specifics from Teri). However, after 24 hours of eating his cough has worsened considerably and Teri is worried that he may have aspirated (gotten food into his lungs) so they have stopped feeding him again.

He has a pretty big bed sore on his bum which can happen when you don't get out of bed much and you don't have good tissue because of all the chronic medical problems and the drugs. So, he is holding steady - no really good news or bad news which is a pretty good thing all things considered.
