Feb 25th

We have had a parade of Doctors this morning, the nice thing is all the doctors who have done tests on him come back every day and check on him. They all update us and then we have a sit down update with the ICU doctor on all the numbers, lab results, etc. They also explain what is on the agenda and what they plan to do for the day. They did an EKG on his heart this morning, which he passed. They also did another ultrasound on his kidney's, stomach and blood vessels. His kidney number has stopped coming down, it is at the same level as yesterday, which is very disappointing to all of us. He is back on for a kidney biopsy tomorrow. The GI doctor is coming today along with genetics. He is really out of it still from his sedation, this is the hardest part of the whole thing - seeing that he is not mentally with us because of all the drugs.

  5. got to admit that i check this blog more then once every single day. Mitch is such an inspiration to all of us. I remember when i first moved into the ward in 4th grade and got to know Mitch. Oh the memories of night games in your backyard and all of us swimming in Brooke's pool. He stood up for me in multiple situations and has always been like an older (ward) brother. Get well soon Mitch Love you and miss you!
