along with some other things indicated that his kidneys were not
working again. Then, his blood pressure got low this afternoon so they
had to put him on a dopamine drip.
They got quite a lot of fluid in him and it seemed to jump start his
kidneys this evening. His blood pressure has still been low though.
The nephrologist analyzed his urine and thinks that something is
causing hemolysis which is destruction of blood cells. This would
explain many of his symptoms today, but lead to more questions.
They should be able to fight through all this with extra drugs and
units of blood. One of his IV lines stopped working so we are back
down to one and they can't deliver all his drugs through just one so
they are going to try to start another overnight. Hopefully he is in
good enough shape for surgery tomorrow and we can get a central IV
back in so these IV issues are behind us.
