I may not have to stay on it.
My creatine was at 9.6 today and I was not doing so hot. I was continually nauseous and regularly throwing up for the second day. This was the result of the growing creatine. The doctors decided to put me on a two hour dialysis treatment today and one more tomorrow. They are hoping that this will clear my body of many of the toxins and make my life a little more bearable. If my current kidneys continue to operate, the hope is that I can avoid dialysis. When we get down the road further, we will begin discussions on transplants and other such choices. One thing we know for sure is that I cannot have another transplant for at least 3 months, so that is a discussion for another day.
Pain. I am still experiencing a lot of pain, some is expected but this one section is a mystery. Tomorrow they will do an MRI to see if they see anything “out of sorts” in that area. If they cannot, they may just release me to grin and bear it. I am not sure I like that idea, but “when I am weak, then He is strong.”

My thoughts and prayers are with you. You are such an encouragement to me, which is funny because I should be encouraging you.
Love Theresa
Grace & Peace be MULTIPLIED to you!!! Am believing for Papa’s BEST ….for you my brother….SHALOM…”NO-THING missing ….NO-THING broken in your life”….
SURELY Goodness and MERCY shall follow you ALL the days of your LIFE…..
Wes, I must agree with Theresa. Through all this incredible suffering, you are still praising God. What an encouragement and story of love. Please know that Faith and I pray daily for you and your family! Hang in there brother!
I am reminded that “this too shall pass.” I wish I could make it go away now, but these set backs are part of His perfect plan for your life. Thanks for being encouraging and up-lifting to so many who want to see that continue in your life as you heal and health is restored to some level of normal.
We love you, pray for you and trust God to accomplish HIS will in and through the Coddington’s et al.
The joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10

I am feeling at a loss for how to encourage you — it’s obvious to me that God has that covered! You are even joking around while on dialysis (“tastes like chicken”) — which I KNOW is unpleasant. What a gift!
May God continue to bless you with joy and humor as you travel down this road. We are all there with you, praying for you, confident that God has you and your family in the very palm of His hand

Wes. We have been praying hard for you here in Charlton. I know God has been listening. His plan is different then mine but I know His is right.
We will keep praying.
You keep holding on tight.

Dear Wes…I was so inspired by your recent postings. It wasn’t that long ago that our little Gracie lost her newly transplanted kidney to her disease and clotting. It was devastating…however…it was also glorious. It was the first
time I felt God’s presence so powerfully…the first time I heard him speak. His words still give me comfort…I want to encourage you with them. God clearly told me, as Grace lie unconscious in the ICU with a fever of 105, as thousands of prayer warriors lifted her up in prayer and we sat believing in a miracle, that He may not give us what we want, but He would give us exactly what we needed. I was immediately flooded with peace and my trust in Him brought amazement from doctors and everyone else who came into our life during that time. Grace is on PD, she has been for a year and a half now. It was so intimidating in the beginning…so very overwhelming. Again…God provided…His peace, His mercy, His Grace…whom he loves so dearly and continually protects. Be encouraged….you are loved and prayed for and it is exciting to know that you are allowing God to be the one in control.
Blessings,
Jodi Utter
