Too many Indian Chiefs?

Not sure that each group of doctors communicate with each other. We have the group of oncologist doctors and now we have the kidney doctor and her group. The kidney doctor told us that Woody would be having an ultrasound of the kidneys. Then the medical student from the oncology group came in to tell us that the numbers for his creatinine were finally going down so he would be able to go home tomorrow (Thurs.) whenever it was convenient for our ride to be here! Then when she found out that Nathan and family were on the way she went back and talked to her group and came back and said that if the readings went down again at 4pm when they did lab work again...then he could go home tonight. She didn't realize that Nathan wouldn't have room for us with all his family! We mentioned the ultrasound that the kidney doctor wanted to do and she didn't know anything about that, but she thought that it wouldn't happen since the creatinine numbers were coming down.

Nathan arrived and went up to visit with Woody and I went downstairs to visit with Kathy, Graham, Abigail, Joy, and Esther. We visited a bit and toured the downstairs so we could find a bathroom for the children. Then we went back outside so the children could run off some of their energy. Not long after that Nathan was back, as they had taken Woody for the ultrasound--that we had been told probably would not be happening.

Then when Woody got back to the room he got rehooked up for his saline IV and the nurse told him that he would have an IV drip for the rest of the time--at least two bags! So if that was going to happen, we certainly weren't going to be able to go home tonight (Wed.). And, we're not sure who the "they" is that ordered this--kidney or oconologists--I'm guessing the kidney doctor. Well, I just asked and I had guessed wrong--it was the oncologists. And the lab work that we were told would be done at 4pm has just been done at 6pm.

So, now do we really get to go home tomorrow or not--and who has the final say????? Like I say--too many Indian Chiefs--which one will get the final say so? Guess time will tell. I do think that as long as the numbers are going in a downward trend that he will be released tomorrow. But at this point I'm not going to hold my breath!
