Brief Update

Holden went down for an echo and abdominal sonogram earlier this afternoon (neither one told us anything new), and when we came back, his blood pressures and temperature dropped really low. Given the severity of the rest of his problems, they wanted him to be in the ICU- just to be safe.

He has so many different things going on right now, nobody knows where to start. We're really concerned with both his liver and kidney numbers right now, and if he doesn't start peeing soon, the renal team is going to want to take more action. We're praying he starts peeing before then!

We originally thought that all of these problems might be stemming from dehydration from his c-diff infection, but that doesn't explain the elevated liver enzymes or the acute pain episodes. We know something more is going on with him, we just haven't figured out what it is yet.

Thankfully, Holden's napping in a morphine-induced stupor at the moment, so he's feeling no pain. Maybe we'll have it all figured out before he wakes up!
