Having a little bit of a better day.

Some prayers have been answered and we are grateful for some opportunities today. 
Billy & Becky, feeling a little better today!
To quickly summarize our situation here, they have decided to do dialysis to relieve some of the work his kidneys are having to do right now - in hopes, that the kidneys will pick back up and start working again on their own. I had been hopeful for this possibility because acute renal failure can be reversed depending on what the cause is. They don't really know what the cause of the renal failure is but his liver function has remained stable which is a very good thing. 

They will also do another round of dialysis tomorrow and then decide about Thursday. By Thursday we should know if things are going to get better, or stay the same. It is not likely they will continue to do dialysis after that unless they can find an exact cause that can be fixed. Right now it is in Gods hands and we continue to pray.

We continue to give dad your messages, he has just been really drowsy over the last couple of days.Thankfully he is feeling a little bit better after dialysis. He is such a strong man, he rarely complains, his attitude throughout all of this is just amazing.  We just want him to feel better.

 This is Billy:  I just want to thank everyone for their prayers and support.  This has been a hard time but the support has lifted my spirits.    Thanks again.

    We're praying the doctors will have the knowledge to give you the best possible treatment. Thinking of you and praying daily that God will provide the miracle we're hoping to get. Dot & Derrell Hollifield

    Billy & Becky:
    Just wanted to let yall know that although we are not right there beside you, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Thinking and waiting for answers to come this way is hard for us as well. Just know this, if you need us to talk to, or to fly to Houston, whatever your needs, we are just a phone call away and we will be there. We love you!
