Hello everyone, sorry that I wasn't able to post over the weekend. Things were a little crazy.

Dov is doing really well all things considered and it looks like he will avoid dialysis after all!

They keep saying, "we are going to do dialysis tomorrow" but then tomorrow comes and they say, "well, let's give it one more day and see how things look." Not that we are complaining or anything. Dov really wasn't looking forward to having a giant needle stuck in his neck. It looks like his kidneys might be starting back up on their own. His potassium levels are going down and his creatinine is holding steady. They think that will start going down too soon which is good. They are going to keep checking his levels but for the moment at least his liver surgeon thinks that he is going to pull out of this on his own.

He is still tired and sore but things seem to be looking up. They will probably start turning his epidural off tomorrow and then once he is eating and walking and everything like normal they will send him home. We are still hoping for sometime this week but we will wait and see. I'll let you know what we hear.
