Not feeling well

Eric had his MRI today. He had to be sedated so he won't move and handled that okay. A few hours later though, he started looking sick and his blood pressure dropped.

They moved us back up to the PICU and put him back on a ventilator. His blood pressure got really low for a while. They gave him a crazy amount of fluids and also had him on a continuous infusion of epinephrine (adrenaline). He is stable now and his bood pressures are back to normal.

Even before he got sick the BMT doctors told us to expect to wait a few weeks to begin the transplant process. I don't think today's episode will change that.
