We have had a hiccups this morning. They were suppose to perform the kidney biopsy this morning but a nurse gave Mitch his blood clot shot and they can't do the biopsy of the kidney until tomorrow now - reason being a kidney biopsy causes bleeding and they are worried about excessive bleeding after having the shot. I guess in the end it was good (trying to find some positive in anything)as they are also going to do a couple of muscle biopsy's tomorrow as well. They still have him in a coma and on his breathing machine, and they plan to leave him in this state until tomorrow as they need to have him out for both biopsy's. This "time out" will also give his body some time to rest. They are also working on a pain management plan after he comes out of his coma - they are going to try new methods and meds.
We met with the infectious disease team this morning and they think all these issues are tied together some how, they also think this is some "weird out of the box uncommon issue" that will take time to uncover as they turn over every rock. What we like is they are focusing on the how and why of the issues, not just treating the symptoms.
During the MRI they also found some "splotchy" items on his lungs so he is having a CT scan on is upper body today.
