Jeri had an appointment this afternoon with her vascular surgeon to ascertain if the new fistula had matured so it could be used for dialysis. At first he didn't think it was but as he did some more feeling and listening and he decided it was working better than he thought it was; in fact I think he thought it was going to work but he wants her to come back in four weeks and have some more high-tech to see and listen. When we left I told Jeri that I think our prayers worked.
The weather has been rain and then no rain and 'they' say it will rain in the valley with mountain snow; we really need more snow in the mountains.
It is our prayer that the fistula matures and can be used. There has been some evidence that her kidneys are functioning better than they have, and we are praying that happens also.

There is not much not much to say on Jeri's saga.
She is doing better every day and as long as this keeps up I will not post a every day.
Today was a dialysis day and she had a good session.
After the dialysis session we went to a IHC facility here in Bountiful where they drew some blood for an INR test and it was just where 'they' wanted it to be.
When there is some thing worth reporting I shall post on the blog.

This has been a good day for Jeri.
We were at dialysis before nine this morning and she was off the machine before noon.
On the way home we stopped at SDCH to return a gait belt we inadvertently brought home with us; while we were there we stopped on the first floor and said 'hey' to everyone there. We then came home and ate pizza.
The temperatures were really good today; it seems that spring has sprung, and not any too soon for me.

There is not much to post except that I have had trouble logging on yesterday.
This is Wednesday's post so don't get confused.
4/Jeri had a rather good day yesterday even if it was a dialysis day. While she was on the machine I detailed the Intrepid and it took me almost three hours; that is what happens when many people us the same car.
This morning there was a little moisture in the air but it was a really nice day.
It seems to me that the more I do on this computer the more illiterate I get.:)
Hopfully there will be more news tomorrow.

Here it is later than 5:00 and I am at the blog.
Jeri had a good day today. She had a blood draw so she could get her INR, which was 1.4, which is better than yesterday. That is what you get when you are off of coumadin for several days and on Lovenox. but it will get better in a day or two.
We just sorta stayed inside the house today; when we got out of bed this morning there was a skiff of snow on the lawns and vehicles, and it rained a little this afternoon but not much.
It is obvious that there is not too much to report on, so I think this enough jabber tonight.

Well, here it is 7:36 on a drizzly Monday but there is no snow and I hope it snows in the mountains but not here.
Jeri had a good session at dialysis, however, I think getting up to go to dialysis at 7:30 am is not a very good thing but then being through at noon is really great; so I guess I think she aught to continue on this schedule. While she was hooked up to the machine I did a couple of things that needed to be done.
She has decided that she is going to use the walker that has a seat on it and try not to use the wheelchair as much as in the past, which I think is a good thing. It shows she is getting stronger and has more confidence.
This afternoon we did some more putting away some things that have accumulated while Jeri was in the hospital, and it takes some time; it's good that I can use the walker with a seat.

It is almost bedtime for me.
We had a great day today. We went to church at our own ward for the second time in 7 months and it was really good to talk to our new friends. Jeri enjoyed Sacrement Meeting and she was doing so well that she wanted to stay and go to Sunday School, which is the first time since she went into SDCH in the last of August, and of course it didn't hurt that Mike was the teacher; he is a great teacher, he takes after his mother. The weather was good enough this afternoon that we spent some time on the porch, which is a first in the last year; things are going well with both of us, and oh, how wonderful it is to have my sweetheart feeling well and able to do things she wants to do.
This is it for today!
