Puzzling Setback

Hannah took a turn for the worse this morning & the drs don't know why. Her liver numbers are swinging up & down. Ultrasound showed no real problem with the liver to cause this.

Lactate shot up. Don't know what caused it. But it seems to have returned to normal again now. But this could be just due to her being sedated & the meds they gave her.

Respiratory distress with acidosis. Lung x-ray clear.

She also had to have a drain placed in her left pleural cavity (lung) to drain the fluid that I mentioned last night.

So today has been filled with drs, radiologists, nurses, tests & tears.


Treatment/investigations:

Sedation

Dialysis

Blood & swab cultures

Echo - normal, no changes
