Enjoy Everyday Moments

Alright, since Monday we have had a few changes.

Kameron had to have a surgery on Monday to put in a catheter in his shoulder so they could do some procedures with it. After the surgery, and while still in the O.R., his oxygen levels dropped to below 85 and his blood pressure dropped a ton so, they had to do a lot to get it back up and once he got back to his room it took him several hours to stabalize his numbers.

Kameron's kidney's were really starting to slow down (which was actually a surprise to me because for so long they had been telling us that his renal function was really good) so, they started him on Continuous Renal Replacement Therapies (CRRT). It is basically like continuous dialysis. It does the work of his kidney's so his kidney's can have a break and just rest. He will probably be on the CRRT for a few days to several days. Then they will slowly put him down to normal dialysis once a day and then every few days until his kindeys are back to normal function.

They are doing the plasma forisis. Started it Monday and they will do 5-7 treatments of that. His plasma is still a dark brown color when it should be golden/yellow.

They gave him the Cytoxan on Monday. It was only a one time dose so, he is done with that for now.

Today the Pulmonolgist said they think he might have pneumothorax, which is a lung puncture. With a chest x-ray they didn't see anything and they don't want to do a CT Scan because they don't want to expose him to everything in the hospital, they just want him to stay put in his room.

He also mention that Kameron has some oxygen pockets in his throat so, there is some concern that he may have a puss pocket on his thyroid or throat and they will do an ultrasound to check that.

His lungs are still really weak so he is obviously still sedated and on the respirator. His platelets ARE up to 69,000, as of yesterday. I haven't heard todays numbers. So, atleast that is going up.
