Steve has been having some real problems the last few weeks and yesterday I had to call the ambulance to take him to the hospital.
I talked with the Dr. this morning and his kidney's failed so they are working on getting them up to speed along with some other issues. She said this will be an ongoing issue and he'll have to make a decision about dialysis down the road.
You guys have been such an important part of our lives I just wanted to let you all know.

I can only imagine how bad it must have been to have to have called an ambulance...he must have been going through alot of pain and discomfort...hope relief comes soon...I have taken my neighbor to her dialysis a few times when she needed me too...I think she goes 3 times a week...but lives a pretty normal life...so lets hope all goes well with Steve.

I hope Steve makes a decision that will be wise and compassionate and timely, that both of you are in agreement and have a doctor that you trust. I hope Steve is free of pain and finds a place to put his trust. I'm honored to be your friend.

So sorry to hear about Steve. Speedy recovery and tell him to quit drinking mineral spirits and that frog juice! My mom had kidney problems and went on dialysis for four years. I went with her many times to the dialysis unit which was like a beauty salon with everyone yapping away and being friendly. Tough road to travel down, but it was quite tolerable. Will say a prayer and hope for the best!
