Dr. Bissler says he was just doing his job, but I think he is a GENIUS!!! Anyway...
Drumroll please......................
Phosphorus results from the catheter: 26.7 (VERY HIGH)
Phosphorus results from the venous stick: 1.2 (VERY LOW)
You heard me people!!! Max's actual phosphorus is VERY LOW. The lab actually called to let the nurses know that Max's phos was "critically low." Typically we wouldn't be cheering for a low phos, but today WE ARE!!! Dr. Ben and Dr. Dixon are communicating behind the scenes right now on what changes are going to be made with Max's medication to bring UP is phosphorus. That's right folks, they need to BRING UP Max's phosphorus.
I am SO excited about this, but I keep thinking that it's too good to be true. Is it really true that we have been fighting a high phosphorus for 6 months or so and all it was was "gunk" blocking his catheter? Could it really be that easy?
I am still in shock. I will update again once I talk to Dr. Ben and/or Dr. Dixon to see what's on their minds.
Thank you all for the prayers. They are working!!!

It appears that medicine is still not a perfect science, and good old experience is still the best teacher.
Very happy that this worked out in the right direction for you - musch up a banana and Max should be right on target!
It's nice to get a good break once in awhile, and I'm sure that all of the doctors and nurses near the situation, will hall have benefitted from Dr. Bissler's diagnosis!

Holy Praise, Jesus! That is TOO awesome!
That is awesome news! How sad that it has had you so stressed out for so long though. How great that he didn't have the transplant early because of it though. What an awesome dr!
