Miraculously, Brent woke up Sunday morning fever free.  Thank you all for your prayers!  He has some symptoms of an upper respiratory infection, but is not in any discomfort from it.  His blood pressure has been under better control this week and he has been feeling more energy.  He even worked on the basement some yesterday afternoon.  He is surprised by how easily he tires out from just even the little things, but I am thankful for the even the small chunks of time that he has some energy.

The training for home dialysis is going well, he can hook himself up, run the machine and unhook himself when he is finished.  He is meeting today with the surgeon to see when he can start using his fistula for dialysis.  He is very anxious to get the tube out of his chest!  Just having the tape there for weeks on end is getting irritating.    We are starting to look like a hospital here, with all the supplies we have gotten for home dialysis.  Yesterday we got a delivery and they delivered 32 boxes of supplies!  We get the machine delivered today.  We have a centrifuge and a fax machine and we are getting all set.  We will probably start doing this at home in June and it takes about 3 1/2 hours a day 5 or 6 days a week. 

We love you all, thanks for all the encouragement and prayers!
