Update March 13

Eli had a tough night last night, but he is fine. He had a reaction to the medicines they are giving to sedate him. He was sedate but active and moving around which he can not do for dialysis. The dialysis machine detect the slightest pressure change and will shut down. Another problem they are having is clotting in the the machine as the blood is treated, this also stops the machine.

So Eli has been on and off of dialysis due to the machine's issues. But in test results Eli is showing improvement his potassium levels have dropped and his kidney numbers are also improving.

They had some trouble this morning putting in a PICC line to help administer fluids to Eli. There is a problem in children due too small veins and arteries. SO, in their attempts they were unable to be successful.

On a positive note Eli looks better and is more active. Unfortunately we need to minimize his movement, but he still tries to tell the doctors what to do when he gets the chance.


Well thats all for now.
