Tim called this morning to check on Molly around 8:30. The nurse said she was doing okay....but....she hadn't peed since 2am. That is not good. You may recall this happened about 5 weeks ago and Molly had to go on dialysis. As of right now, she has a foley in and some urine did come out. They are doing cultures. Her CRP is up about a point. Her BUN went up from 50 this morning to 62 this afternoon. This is a measure of how well your kidneys are functioning, or how "happy" they are. We would like it to be less than 25. So, 62 is not good. They are going to do an ultrasound of her kidneys, give her some albumin chased with lasix in hopes that pulls some of the fluid off. That extra fluid that is not being peed off is collecting in her tissues, but mainly goes to her belly. It is way more distended, so taut that it is shiny. This makes for an uncomfortable Molly. She has been more lethargic the last couple of days too. Sleeping most of the day, even more so than usual. So, that is where we are at right now. They consulted nephrolology (kidney docs), so we will see what the plan is.
On a better note, her bili was checked on Monday and is down about 3 points. It sits at 15.2. Yay omegaven! Her skin tone is so much better. A little pinker, still a little yellow though.
We need prayers for Molly's kidneys....that they get happier and produce pee pee. Thank you!
No word from Boston yet.
