Still in PICU

Nathan is still receiving fluids today. His feedings have been going about the same though. Still throwing up a decent portion of them or we are having to stop short of the amount he should be eating to prevent throwing up. Dr. Higgins, his gastroenterologist, is looking into the problem. Nathan is also very anemic so he is receiving a blood transfusion today. There are some concerns with this. Nathan's potassium level is very high because of his ongoing kidney problems. Any blood he would be transfused with will also contain potassium. An increase of too much potassium in Nathan's system could cause him to go into cardiac arrest. All of this is being watched closely but please keep little Nathan in your prayers. He is having a rough few days.
