OK. So now her kidneys aren't functioning well and so they are giving her lasix to help with that. She's retaining LOTS of fluids. Very swollen. She may need a couple rounds of dialysis to get them working again. The nurse said that if it were her mother she would try it through the weekend and see if the kidneys started working again because she said although I might not realize it because I don't see this every day, she does have a chance of bouncing back. If the kidneys are working, it gives them time to help her bounce back. Dr. Boyce will be back on monday. The nurse says that he is very straight-forward and will not drag this out longer than necessary.
It's so hard to see her like this. so hard.

I am praying for you and your family constantly. I hope you know how much you are loved by your "Ray" family. You are such an important part of how and why we stay connected. Of course you know how special you, Shea, and Larry have been to me over the years.
We serve an amazing God! We must all trust Him to take care of you. You are precious to us. Shea-thanks for updating us on your blog. I'll try not to call so often, but sometimes I just need to hear your voice. If you need me--I will be there. I love you so much!
Dear Kay, Larry and Shea --
Sending you lots of love, and I know the Lord is with you all and that you are no doubt feeling upheld by prayers. May the Lord continue to give you a deeper knowledge of His love, healing and presence.
Blessings in His Love -- Kathy
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Martha & Ed McLaurin
