Saturday Night
Judah is being dialyzed right now. There is a washer/dryer sized machine in his room that is hooked up to an in and out blood line in his thigh. The blood comes out of him through one end and is processed by the machine, and reintroduced back into his body. The whole process will take about 4 hours.
In the meantime, his pulse has come down by about 12 points, his oxygenation level is about 99% and his blood pressure is 127/66. Hopefully the dialysis will give him some relief.
More news in the morning.

Dear friends,
You have been on my mind, in my prayers, and in my thoughts all day today, as on every other day. I am glad we have more reasons for hope, and we will use them to continue wishing and praying for Judah's health.

Much love, Rachel
Judah, you are making addicts out of us, addicted to whatever small hopeful sign we may find here at Blog Central at odd hours of the night and day. We turn on the computer when we should be turning out the lights. Craving connection. Optimistic that this collective outpouring of love and prayer you so richly deserve will bring you back to buoyant health. So be it.
Love,
Andrea
Always with you,
Shiksa
Dear Judah, Martha, Ben & Iss -
I don't know if it is the dialysis, but something is giving Judah some relief.
Keep on tweaking those settings.
Hope the night was restful.
Love, Uncle Robby
