Just finished our 1st round of mtgs with the Doctors: Neurology, Rheumatology, Nephrologist (Kidney), Endrocrinologist (Diabetes), ICU. Our next meeting is at 4:15 today.
The short of the long - can't really find anything that can connect the dots - nothing makes sense as he is one step away from being able to connect things together. They are continuing to run some additional tests for obscure things. The first pass of the muscle biopsy came back, you guessed it, normal, although they are continuing to run more tests on it. His kidney numbers continue to get better, he is down to 7.2 this morning so they have once again put off the kidney biopsy. He has been on high blood pressure meds because his resting blood pressure was 170/110 - they took him off the blood pressure meds and his rates have dropped to normal. His resting pulse was about 160 - that has dropped back down to 60. All his numbers are improving - they are not sure why, but relate it back to his kidney getting better on it's own.
Mitch is now going on 3 weeks without getting out of bed or eating any food.

Bless your heart! Hope things keep on getting better. It is exciting to read that things are improving. Maybe what might have caused all this might be getting out of his system, let's hope so. Many Blessings from the Ungers
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the numbers are getting better, though wish the doctors and you guys could get the answers you are so desperately seeking. Prayers will continue on your behalf.
ReplyDeleteso glad that things are getting better on a daily basis and aren't skipping around like crazy, how they were. this will help him be able to cop with the situation instead of being thrown around mentally and physically. This will all help him get better sooner :)
ReplyDeleteEven if it's inch by inch, so happy to hear things are improving for Mitch. Now if they can just get to the bottom of it. We're all still praying really hard. I check your blog at least 3 times a day seeing if there is an up-date or anything finally found.
ReplyDeleteMitch you're our hero! Keep fighting. We love you!
