I wish I had some good news to tell but unfortunately that is not the case. First I'll let you know that Edwin was readmitted to the hospital...he had a large
chylous effusion and needed a chest tube but is doing much better now.
On Wed before Lori left the doctors had stated Judith on dialysis. On Thursday they were able to wean her vent some, she was having more purposeful movements and making some improvements. However, on Friday she took a turn for the worse. Her
coags are all messed up and she required lots of blood products (platelets and
FFP). She is now on higher vent settings and 100% oxygen and her pressures on the vent were really high. Her liver enzymes are incredibly elevated and her
creatinine is high again. They also said she was less responsive and probably septic. For those of you who have informed me my blogs have too much medical terminology...the ventilator is doing all of the work for her, she is in renal failure, her liver isn't functioning well, she probably has an infection and we aren't sure of her
neurological status.
If I get more info I'll post it. Thanks for your prayers.
