Thanks for the replies everyone. Tucker still slept almost all day, but when he wakes up he seems more himself (SUCH a relief to me). He does not have as strong on an odor. Because of his shunt he would always have a salty smell from his mouth because of the toxin build up. I've done some research, and we've come to the conclusion that since his liver is rejuvinating almost 4xs in the next few weeks-months that it is having to detoxify more, hence the odor. He has had a better day, but this whole recovery has been a bit of a roller-coaster so I hope it continues to get better with time. His staples come out Wednesday, right now they are driving him insane! I'll keep you all updated. Thanks again |
