Dad Mahin woke Tuesday, Dec. 22nd, feeling much improved. He tried walking without his wheelchair and the longer he walked the better he felt. He didn't need his wheelchair at all Tuesday. However, during the latter part of the afternoon he became nauseous and began vomiting around supper time. Around 7 or 8 in the evening mom measured his temp at 104. The town nurse showed up, and called dad’s dialysis doctor and he recommended an ER visit. So an ambulance was called, much to dad’s fussing and fuming, and they got him to the Clay Center ER around 9:30. They checked his dialysis ports for infections, did a chest x-ray, drew blood, etc. They found a possible indication for pneumonia in the left lung but ruled that out as any reason for concern or reason for his fever and immediate sickness.
They put him on antibiotics and sent him home feeling much improved. We got home around 11:30. So it was a busy day for dad but he is definitely doing better compared to last Friday.
Keep praying. It’s working.
