Update on Addi 8/27 at 4:30pm-Addi will remain in ICU and on the vent for now, however, this is helping her breathe and remain calm. The Drs were able to scope her when they intubated her and have sent off samples. Those will take time to grow, but in the interim they have her on antibiotics to treat the possible pneumonia. They also did dialysis today and they pulled off 2.5 liters of fluid. That too has helped with the breathing. She will have dialysis again tomorrow too. The ICU Dr was pleased with her progress today.
The Hematology team also came back today. They are wanting to run the blood cultures again because they are seeing some abnormalities that may help them better understand how they need to be supporting the HUS. This diagnosis is a rare one and as they have all said this is a highly complex and complicated case.
Our praise today is God brought in just who we needed at just the right time. The ICU doctor’s specialty is in lungs, so he quickly knew exactly what to do. He sent people to pray with us and people to encourage us. You don’t know what that means until you are in the midst of things. I am thankful for God not only looking after Addi, but us too. He is a good Father.
Please pray without ceasing! Praise for her lungs to heal. Pray for the fluid to be absorbed and for the pneumonia,if there, to respond well to the antibiotic. Pray for her kidneys to respond too. Pray and give thanks for our drs, nurses, techs etc. they are amazing and God has us right where we need to be. Please pray for rest for Addi, Ashley and Drew. Thank you for your continued prayersđź’•
