[Guest]

MY DAD HAS CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE
WHICH I BELIEVED HAPPENED WHEN HE HAD OPEN HEART SURGERY IN 2003. THEY THOUGHT THEY WAS GOING TO HAVE TO DO DIAYLAIS ON HIM THEN BUT HIS LEVELS CAME DOWN SO THEY DIDN,T AT THAT TIME.HE HAS SINCE HAD HIS SECOND OPEN HEART SURGERY THIS PAST JANUARY. ALONG WITH BEING A DIABETIC AND HAVING ALZHEIMERS...
RIGHT NOW HIS DIABETES IS OUT OF CONTROL. AND HE IS HAVING ALOT OF SYMPOTOMS OF END STAGE RENAL DISEASE.
WHICH I HAVE BEEN EXPLORING ON THE INTERNET TO GET MY INFO..
HE IS NOW SEEING A KIDNEY DOCTOR BUT I CAN,T SEEM TO GET ANY ANSWERES OUT OF HIM. AS TO WHAT TO EXPECT.. AND TO UNDERSTAND WHAT ALL THE LEVELS MEAN..
I.AM LEARNING. MY MOTHER PASSED AWAY FROM LUNG CANCER AND EVERY SINCE THEN MY DAD HAS WENT DOWNHILL FROM THERE
THERE IS 5 OF US KIDS AND IA,M THE ONLY ONE THAT ANY KNOWLEDGE OF MEDICAL MEANINGS SO THEY ALL RELY ON ME TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE DOKCTORS ARE TALKING ABOUT..HIS FAMILY DOCTOR TOLD ME THE OTHER DAY, THERE REALLY WASN,T ANYTHING ELSE THAT COULD BE DONE FOR EVERYTHING THAT HE IS DOING.. BUT WHY
HIS KIDNEY DOCTOR WON,T DO THE SAME I DON.T KNOW. I JUST NEED TO BE TOLD WHAT STAGE HE IS IN? SO I CAN GO FROM THERE. HIS SYMTOMS RIGHT NOW IS.
DIZZIENESS, VOMITING,METAL TASTE IN HIS MOUTH. DEMITIA HE IS ANEMIC..
SOMEDAYS WE TEST HIS BLOOD SUGAR AND CAN.T HARDLY GET ANY BLOOD, THEN THE NEXT DAY, IT PORS OUT OF HIS FINGERS.
HE DOSN,T HAVE MUCH OF AN APPETITE.
AND THE LIST GOES ON.. SO IF ANYONE CAN GIVE ME ANY ADVICE IT SURE WOULD HELP.
