He is at about 7% function at the moment. all his symptoms atm are basically internally. his parathyroid glands is acting up due to his kidney failure. he's holding water. his blood pressure is controlled by meds. some of his levels are not normal like his potassium level and his phosphorus level as well. plus a few more things. he's on like 12 meds lol. two i think for high blood pressure. one to help his parathyroid glands a water pill and others i can't think off the top of my head.

I must have missed the post where you originally said he was having kidney failure. You are both in my thoughts and ers! I hope he can stay well long enough to hold off on the dialysis for at least a few more months! to you both!
its ok rgeurts thanks for your thoughts and prayers. he's been in kidney failure for almost two years. they first thought he be on dialysis within months of finding it out cause he had such a fast deterioration. but he listens to the dr takes his meds and eats a diet so far he's been at stage five for almost a year. he will need dialysis and a transplant but now we don't know when.
