Email update from Mom:
"The doctor doubled Bruce's lasix prescription because of all the swelling. It doesn't seem to help him much though.
Monday: We went in for blood work today and we should get the results tomorrow. We also went to an acupuncturist for treatments for Bruce to help with the edema in his body. The acupuncturist taught me some massage treatments to do on him twice a day to help. We go back for another appt with her on Monday.
Tuesday: Yesterday morning Bruce said he was able to sleep all night (the first time since this all started). His swelling is down and his spirits are up. He still doesn't have a lot of energy but was able to take care of Kaylee on Friday while I made phone calls to get qualified for the month. Bruce was the contact person with Prepaid Legal's corporate office to make sure that all of the sales were going through OK.
His vision had been bothering him and so we took him in to an eye specialist. His optic nerves are swollen with lots of broken blood vessels. We have an appointment to go back.
We just got Bruce's blood work back. Yea!! His creatinine level has dropped to 2.3 instead of the 3.75 that it was! We still have a way to go but it is now headed in the right direction.
Thank you for all the prayers and concern that you have so graciously shared with us.
We are still preparing for that miracle.
Muriel"
