It is with bated breath that I write this. I have seen the renal consultant at the hospital today. She has decided that as my blood results have been so good recently that it could be that my kidneys are beginning to recover. She felt that it was worth stopping dialysis and seeing what happens. So I had my last dialysis session today and we now wait and see. I will go to the hospital for blood tests every other day and increase my fluid intake. We will then see what is happening to my blood results within a few days. It maybe that I will have to have dialysis urgently but they will fit me in when ever I need to. It could be that this is all my kidneys need to start working properly or it maybe that I will need to go back on dialysis and retry at a further date. Everyone is very amazed, as the consultant had told me that after this length of time on dialysis it would be VERY unlikely for my kidneys to recover. As you can imagine we are praising our God who is able to do more than we ask or imagine……

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Eph 3 v20

Please pray with us that all will be well. I am trusting totally that whatever the outcome God is in charge and that He knows all things. Please pray for our family as they also wait with bated breath. I continue to hold the hand of the creator God.

On an aside – my bone scan and mammogram have come back clear. I will see the oncologist again in 3 months. I saw him today and was able to give him the news. His immediate response was – what an answer to prayer. Before this all happened I also saw the home dialysis nurse and I am to be the second patient in the unit to start home dialysis (now only possibly) which would happen in the middle of December. When I have got my head around all this I will write more but at the moment I feel like we are in a dream and I think I will remain like this for a while. It is a bit scary but the hospital are very supportive and will be there whatever the outcome.
