Dad is partway through dialysis this morning. His numbers are not stellar, but they always seem to bump up after a good dialysis treatment. The issue for today and a great thing to be praying about is the impending bed switch-a-roo. Sometime today, probably around three, they are going to move him to an air bed. See, normally they can roll a patient to their right or left by stuffing pillows under them to help prevent bed sores. Dad's numbers take a nose dive when they turn him to the right and do only okay when they turn him to the left (I think I have the directions correct). Anyway, he is likely to develop really bad bed sores unless they can get him in a more advanced bed that can adjust him more easily and in a more therapeutic way. The fear (and one of the main reasons they have not done this yet) is that he is too fragile to tolerate the transfer. Again, they are thinking around three for that; we'd love some prayers for that to go well. Thanks all!
