Week 1053-1056 - All Kid(ney)ding Aside - 11-15-2026

All Kid(ney)ding Aside

We cannot be more thankful for the hundreds of family and friends that have prayed for us during Pete's kidney surgery. And thankful to those who offered support, meals and labor to help us.

Pete is working through a 12-week recovery and is now in the 7th week. eGFR is a test that shows the quality of your kidney's blood filtering. Those with two kidneys might test as high as 100%, less as you grow older. With one kidney 45 to 50 would be the high rating. In the hospital Pete was as low as 30%, but is now at 41% and is expected to rise.

A PET scan has shown that there is no other cancer. These tests will be periodic going forward to watch for any change.

Pete's strength is returning and he is now allowed to physically do whatever his body will tolerate. He sleeps well and feels better everyday.

We can now turn our prayers to others and thank the Lord for what He has done here. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Be blessed by what was accomplished here by prayer.

God is Good!

With love, Pete and Ellen
