10/01/2007 Update
October 1st, 2007 by shahin
Shahin was taken off the continuous dialysis machine today for a period of 24 hours to give his kidneys a chance to wake up. He will be put on the regular dialysis machine starting tomorrow, where he will only be on the machine a few times a week.
He is breathing on his own for longer and longer periods of time. Typically they put him back on the ventilator at nights to give him a break. But, we are still hoping for his complete independence off the machine by the end of this week.
No rumbles yet either! But his whilte cell count is holding steady.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have him out of the ICU by his 45th birthday (October 10th)?! It may be a bit optimistic, but let’s hope and pray so.

I’ve been away from computer access for a few days but according to your blog appears Shahin is making steady progress. It would be terrific if he was out of ICU by the 10th but even more terrific if he got an “early” present. It is nice to read all the encouraging news! Nothing like the power of prayer! Tell Shahin - Gene says hi again.
