November

This has been a long month.  K’s kidneys, CSA levels and puking are still the theme.  Her kidneys aren’t responding to fluids anymore so we decided to trial her off of them.  She was doing so awesome with drinking until Sunday night when she wasn’t feeling well.  Yesterday she slept all day only waking up to puke so she didn’t really drink at all.  Apparently what I didn’t know was that one day of not drinking and puking combined with toxic drugs can really mess you up.  This morning she was really out of it and kept asking the same questions over and over so I knew something was wrong.  We got to clinic and her temp was 100, her counts came back and they had actually gone back so I thought ah she’s responding and then her kidney numbers came back.  Poor kiddo is dehydrated and her creatinine is 3.5, to give you an idea of if that is bad or not MN made us come in everyday for labs when she was 0.9-1.1….  So Miss K got a first class ticket to an inpatient room for fluids and IV antibiotics every 8 hours.  Poor thing, I feel so bad for her.  I really thought she was ok yesterday and she said she was ok so…..  They will run levels in the morning and go from there.  Please continue to pray for K.

Thanks for the prayers!
