❤️ 12/3

I woke up today. I slept well. I woke up at midnight when my pain medication was due. I took half of what I was supposed to. Wow! Slept another 6 hours. I woke up and took the same reduced amount of pain medications I had at midnight. Then at noon, JUST Tylenol. WOW! 

I drank coffee this morning. I ate some fruit and oatmeal. Wow! I am still sore but much much better than yesterday. Phew.

Ethan had a good day too. They started him on a medication to combat his anemia. They pulled his urinate catheter and he actually WALKED to the bathroom because his kidney is working with NORMAL kidney values. Ethan said “this is the first time in my entire life, that all my organs are functioning properly”.

The plan is that next week Ethan is going to get his dialysis catheter kicked to the curb. No more stupid dialysis! Woo hoo! Ethan (ahem and his family…friends and many others) have waited a long time to see this happen. He will be able to shower, swim or what ever he wants. Freedom.
