Contrast test of Papa's upper g.i. shows good results.  His diet has been advanced to clear liquids and will progress slowly.  He had dialysis today because his kidneys still aren't filtering the toxins well enough, but he is producing urine.  His white cell count is the lowest it has been yet at 15!  He did a little p.t. today, sitting on the side of the bed , standing and even took a couple of steps.
