Kaggies Kidney Friday 17 Sept, 2010

Hello again friend and family,
New news!! Mom's Urinary output is back to normal and yesterdays Ultrasound showed there is no permanent kidney damage from this event.
Her Blood Sugars have come up into the 200's (better high sugar than low sugar - High sugar can be treated with counter-active measures MUCH easier than Low Blood Sugars.)
Her blood pressure was low last night - and she was given Coreag (a high BP med, she usually takes everynight) which caused her Blood Pressure to plummet. At about 1-1:30 am They had to kick in higher doses of epinephrine to counter-act that. BECAUSE of her needing Epinephrine, she will be in ICU for another day, Looks like she will move to a regular on Saturday sometime. Epipinephrine can only be administered in ICU to assure close monitoring.
She still has a central line and an arterial Line, for targeted monitoring.
Her Potassium level is back in the normal range.
The results of the CAT scan show there were no new Neurological events. It did show evidence of the mini-stroke she had a few years back that took the sight in her left eye (or is it right?)... But nothing New. AWESOME NEWS!
At this time it appears she may have a full recovery from this. Thank You for your prayers and positive energies. We will continue to update this blog throughout her hospital stay and recovery.
Peace, Love and Blessings,
Becky Sue
