With Brody's elbow, we still have no news. They may do a repeat ultrasound tomorrow to look for blood clots further up his arm, closer to his heart. As for his kidneys, the renal doctor today said that his oversized belly probably isn't so much excess water from poor kidney function, but rather gas. Joss and I agree with him entirely. Also, renal said that the reason his renal function numbers are starting to indicate increased kidney failure is likely due to the 12 hours of IV fluid they gave the other night to try to boost potassium levels. He said that he thinks the PICU had the right idea but went about it wrong. Also, there are several various things they check to determine kidney failure. All of these things remain the same but one. The renal dr suggests that it will likely improve over a few days, which is great to hear!
