I have to apologize to everyone, I didn't enter a post last night. I meant to after I got home, but I did laundry until about 12:30 this morning and went to bed not realizing I hadn't made an entry here. I promise I will try to be better.

It has been a rough day for my beautiful bride. She has been plagued with extreme fatigue, nausea, and incessant hiccups, all symptoms we have learned, of increased renal failure. To complicate matters she is having difficulty swallowing and has been put on a very restrictive diet of soft foods (cottage cheese, pudding) and only water to drink to help prevent food or beverages from entering her lungs. Her renal specialist said they will probably schedule her for dialysis tomorrow to help give her kidneys some needed rest and support and told us he is still positive on her progress.  I'm in favor of her having a dialysis treatment as I think she will feel much better and it will take  a load off her body and give it opportunity to heal.

She just finished a little cottage cheese and has immediately fallen back to sleep. Just being by her side she continues to do what she has always done, giving me such comfort and strength when I should be providing this for her. She is an amazing women!

We both are so touched by the outpouring of love, support, and kindness we continue to receive. Things impossible to repay, but never forgotten. I will sign off tonight, praying for a better day tomorrow for Angie and wishing you all a happy 4th of July

more to come.......
