Molly's liver is not supplying adequate blood flow to her kidneys. That is the reason for her kidney failure. As I type, they are doing an ultrasound on her jugular veins to see where we can put an intrajugular vein for the dialysis. The one we used last time cannot be used again. She had a broviac in her right one which they are checking now to see if it is occluded or not. There are two other possible sites in her femoral veins. The problem with those spots is that her belly is so distended it may affect the ability of the blood flow to and from the heart. Her nurse Heather today said Molly's little body is just getting tired. That breaks my heart.
Basically it boils down to dialysis working or not. It may not work and if it doesn't work, we may have no other options left. Please say some prayers for the three of us.
