On Wednesday after Judes nap I noticed his feet were swollen and hard and his eyes and face were swollen. Later that night he was transfered from summerville med to Childrens Hospital at MUSC by ambulance(yes, very dramatic, i know). The first 24 hours were focused on getting an iv in him which was near impossible because he was so dehydrated. He nor I slept that night. 4:30 thursday they got the IV in! He has had a number of tests done and so far this is what we know
1) he has an elevated white cell count (an indicator of infection)
2) His body is not absorbing sugars/carbs
3) his spleen/liver is enlarged
4) blood protein is low which may be the cause of swelling
We are just waiting and hoping we can go home Sunday and continue in outpatient if we need to!
Thank you for all your prayers, love, concern.We appreciate it so much!
