Hello everyone,
We had a bit of a scare today, but Max is now stable and doing alright. He was moved this morning from Good Sam to Children's because of a rise in his blood pressure. He also had a rise in one of his levels that determines kidney function, so the doctors and nurses thought it would be best for him to be where the specialists are so that they can keep a closer eye on him and move quickly if something happens to come up. I was told at Good Sam that they were transferring him to put him on dialysis, but the urologist at Children's said that they were going to watch his levels and try to get them under control before they made any decisions. They did an ultrasound of his kidneys today that they are going to compare with the blood work to help decide what's next.
He is still on the ventilator and breathing rather quickly, but is doing some of the breathing on his own. They are watching to be sure that the air around his lungs does not increase. They are hoping this will reabsorb on it's own so that they don't have to put in chest tubes.
Thanks again for the continued support, love, and prayers. Max needs all that he can get right now, so please keep them coming.
Love,
Beth, Tim and Max
