Peters heart function is poor by the looks of things.

[misdee]

they did another echo this morning. he said even he could see it was bad and he doesnt have a clue about what to look for. another angio tomorrow. if things dont pick up then a LVAD may be needed.

he is no way fit enough for a transplant right now.

that would do you the world of good.

lets hope they can get these things done very soon.

thats great ,,

been to see him. most of the fluid is gone, so he is half the man he was lol. dopamine is working well, has to be on it for another 24hours. kidney function is vastly improved already, and hopefully once they withdraw the dopamine there wont be a relaspe.

Great news, hope that things continue to get better. Hugs

Dr banner asked peter how he was peters reply was 'oh i'm fine'

dr banner thenreeled off a list of things that were 'wrong' and finsihed with 'so really, you are not fine'.

he is a long way still being fit enough for transplant. he needs to gain weight quickly. his body is burning calories faster than he can get them in it seems.

oh dear misdee (that hardly covers it does it). Do they know how long it'll take him to get back to being fit enough for transplant?

no idea jimjams. he did get a voucher today for extra food from the canteen. hopefully he'll get that each day to help build him up. i know he gets a different menu to most people, all high protein/carbs etc.

glad things are improving misdee
