Hi ladies,
There isn't much more to tell right now. They can't seem to get him off of the ventilator right now because every time they try he just can't do it on his own. So that's one of the goals right now to just get off the vent. So not much has changed, mostly just waiting for him to get stronger before they can check into the other problems. They did name one of the bugs yesterday as Ecoli. A hard one for him to fight in his state. His kidneys are not working at the moment. They don't know if there is damage from CMV or damage from the heart stopping the other day or what. They do say that sometimes when people go through the heart stopping like that that the kidneys may take a few days to wake back up. I'm praying that we will see it start to do something today, I don't know how long he can go before they have to start dialysis. He is swelled up like a balloon at the moment and no way to get the fluid out as the lasiks didn't work so they stopped them.
We might know more after rounds which won't be until sometime after 9:00 Seatle time.
Thank you so much for all your thoughts and prayers, they are priceless. |
