My husband of 20 years has been going through an extensive medical crises for the past 10 months. Started with blood in his urine. Went in for a kidney biopsy - ended up in the hospital for 10 days - 6 in intensive care. His kidney's had failed, causing his lungs to fail. They put him on predizone and started plashma pherishes. Kidneys started functioning to 40% and lungs so far at 90 - 98% with oxygen. Since then he has been receiving chemotherapy treatments once a month. Initially, he was put on Predizone at 80mg per day now down to 20mg per day. He still looks like a pig neck (sorry but that's the only way I can explain his face). I just wonder if he will ever be himself again. I feel really bad for him as he was once a very strong and virile man. Please pray for him - to heal physically and mentally. Thanks, Roni
