Hi Everyone...

 

Just giving an update on what is new with Vicki today...

Friday night was not a good night as they explained to us that she was
in acute renal failure...this is reversible but the kidneys are just not
functioning as they should.   She has some output but no where like it
should be with all the fluids going in.  Doctor came in Saturday morning
and we asked about doing dialysis just to jump start the kidneys and he
said they would not do that until she met 4 criteria...she only met 2 as
of Friday night.  Saturday afternoon the kidney specialist came in and
said she would prefer to increase the fluids in hopes of making the
kidneys function but would have to watch her carefully as she is already
so swollen she can't take much more.

 

Still very sick with nausea and this goes on throughout day and night.
They give her medicine for this every 4 hours but if they jostle her
around for any reason that is all it takes...noise was even making her
sick on Sunday evening.

 

This morning they did another scan and took more x-rays on her to check
for blood clots as she spiked a fever yesterday.  No results on those
tests yet.

 

We hung up all her cards Saturday on the wall she faces and had to then
move to the wall beside her...you guys have really come through in
sending her cards and emails!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

 

I just ask that you please continue this as she is really low right now
and those cards and emails are the ONLY thing making her smile!!!!!

 

We thank you for your prayers and just ask that you continue to lift her
up!!!

 

Kristi
