The best news yet!
Jackie has been scheduled for release from the hospital and will be going home tomorrow morning, Wednesday, February 29. They have closed up her tracheatomy and she is now assessory free. (No bags, bottles, tubes, etc!)
She is doing great, so great in fact, they are confident that her kidney function is back and have removed the dialysis ports! That is the most amazing news, we were very worried that dialysis would be a part of her weekly life and it is such a blessing that she will no longer need these procedures.
We really appreciate all of the support, and wishes and help everyone has offered over the past month. It has meant a lot to our family.
We have learned so much about Kidney Disease over the past four weeks and would like to express our gratitude over her recovery by supporting the National Kidney Foundation at their 2012 Walk taking place on Sunday, May 20 at the Detroit Zoo.
We hope you will consider joining us at the walk, which will take place just one week after Jackie celebrates her 72 birthday. By joining our team to walk you can support the Foundation with your $20 registration fee and stay after the walk and celebrate Jackie's birthday with her at the picnic that follows the event.
