Would the c-diff show in a culture? Right now we are waiting on the cultures to grow. We should get results from those today. His Nephrologist consulted with the family yesterday evening. If all of the hydration he is getting doesn't start his kidneys, he is saying the next course of action is dialysis.
We came home last night and I haven't called my MIL this morning. I am hoping she is sleeping. The hospital has been nice to her and even gave her an empty patient room to use because the ICU waiting area is full. Thank you for all of your helpful advise.
