thank EJ. he told me a few weeks ago that he didn't think he had much time left. He is ready to go be with God and I am not ready for that. I am hoping the dr has something that dad will agree to do. he does have blood in his urine and his creatnine level is up a great deal I guess from what my stepmom told me. if he will not agree to dialysis I don't know how long he will have. he would never do a transplant. he already told us that last year. keep us in your prayers please.
