Torrey got through both tunnel procedures today with flying colors.
His dialysis tunnel catheter in the shoulder will be a much safer way to administer treatments, and can last up to 6 months w/o having to change it.
His medicine catheter, also inserted into the shoulder, will allow easier access for his various medications.
Breathing tube is still likely a few days off from being removed....he still hasn't passed his test yet, but I think he is getting close.
We have little improvement in his blood pressure as well, but at least the medicine continues to work, and they seem able to reduce dosages every now and then.
These are two milestones that Torrey needs to meet before we can consider any type of transplant option.
At the home front, we are very happy to have my brother now living with us. He'll be dividing his time between here and LA, and has agreed to be our live-in 'Manny' for as long as we need him.
Thalia is very happy, and I can already tell how much more relaxed she has been around the house in the last 24 hours.
Happy Monday to all,
Monica
