The come-back kid
Dear Rotary friends:
The saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” has never been more true.
Brett is truly the come-back kid . . . he continues to make good progress.
Hallelujah!
And this from Kathy, written Wednesday:
Brett's kidneys are working better...doctors are pleased.
Had to stop feeding tube again...He is not tolerating food yet.
He will be switching to a regular ICU bed tomorrow so he can sit up in it and have some aggressive PT.
Overall it is good news. He is still quite weak.
He was off the vent for a total of six hours today. Doctors want him off it completely soon.
Thank you again for the prayers and messages.

Doctor stopped continual dialysis an hour ago.
Had to stop feeding tube yesterday since Brett wasn't tolerating it. Will start it again tomorrow.
He was off vent for four hours today. Told me he wants to go home. We are praying the kidneys start functioning without help of dialysis.
He passed a swallow evaluation so he may be able to eat soon if his stomach can tolerate it.
