Kyle can't progress any further until we get his swelling down, so it is therefore our primary objective right now. He continues to loose fluid, which is good. According to my rough calculations, if he continues on the pace he's been loosing, he will loose all/most of his swelling in 12 - 14 days. But that's a big if.

This morning at about 3:00 he had a little bit of a scare (blood pressure and O2 saturation drop), with the outcome being they think he might have another infection. He was put on more antibiotics while we await tests results. He seems to be doing fine now.

Kyle also acquired another specialist today: a liver doctor. Recent tests found low veinous flow to one side of the liver, as well as spotty liver function. While tests are being done, the liver doctor doesn't seem too worried about it. He says the liver is the most resilient organ in the body.

This might sound like a negative post. But at the end of the day, Kyle is still loosing fluid, he looks comfortable, his skin color is good. . . Go Kyle Go!
