It's going to be 3 weeks now since she's been hospitalized for renal failure. They were able to get her kidneys running again, but not to normal. This all happened because of the 34 medications she takes a day and 4 or 5 of those are powerful diuretics, plus they restricted her fluid intake down to 2 liters or less a day. This is so they could get rid of the fluid build up on her body, which caused her body weight to go from 115lbs to 205lbs.
Now they have no choice but to hydrate her back while taking out 4 gallons of fluid off her belly. They could've taken out more, but they decided to leave a little bit of it in there. Hopefully I'll have her back home with me this weekend.
What I wanted to say to guys most of all is that the heart surgeons at UCLA. The best top heart surgeons in the WORLD, are considering her too much of a risk for a heart transplant, so they might rule her out.
They actually wanted to perform a heart and lung transplant, but my wife's primary heart doctor at Kaiser said no. Why, because he said that he had sent a number of patients to them for that kind of transplant and all of them were far more better shape than my wife and they only lasted for a couple years. He said they all died very painfully. He said he would rather see my wife die from just a heart transplant than die from a heart and lung transplant. It is that painful. He said never again would he do that.
He's fighting UCLA doctors tooth and nail to put her on a heart transplant list only and not for heart and lung transplant. It's not looking too good right now. Our last hope would be Stanford University.
And yes, my IBS is acting really bad on me. I'm trying my best to relax right now and not think too much about this. Our lives SUCK. Anybody wanna buy my Firebird? It's literally a brand new car.
