Wednesday 2/18/09

We just met with the nephrologist and based upon his labs (BUN 150 & Creatine 8.4) he is recommending dialysis. They will place a jugular vein access tonight and start a slow dialysis around 7:30 a.m. tomorrow morning. This will run for 8 hours a day for 3 days.

  1. Hi Don, Tamara & family. Thanks soo much for creating this blog about this wonderful man and father that we have all come to know so well. Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys. Don is a real tough South African and we believe that he can pull through anything that life throws at him. Tell him from us "STERKTE OU MAN - JY MOET NOU GOU BETER RAAK". All our love, the McDaniel family.
