Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts.
Today Kris has turned the corner and is feeling much better. Both the calcium and creatinine have returned to normal. Now we just have to monitor bloodwork closely. This will be lifelong. His incidental chest xrays have been normal, so NO tumours in the lungs. He will be in hospital for a couple of more days to see what way the calcium is trending. I am looking forward to getting him home.
Bette - I will be thinking of you and your Reggie this week.Look after yourself too.
Kerri - I appreciate your response in what I know is a difficult time for you too. May your journey from now on only be upwards .
