Swelling

9:00 a.m. Darby Kate is still doing really good this morning. All of her numbers are normal but she is still holding a ton of fluids. This morning, please pray for the care team to be able to get her swelling down. With the amount of swelling she has, any set back would cause her not to be stable. Thanks for the prayers!

6:45 p.m. Darby Kate is still stable but very swollen. They are going to give her through the night to see if the peritoneal dialysis will start pulling off more fluid. If she does not have a large negative number by the morning they will push forward with her. She will start Continual Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT). This therapy will pull fluid off much like ECMO did. The danger of this therapy is they will have to place a line in her subclavian which will pose a clot risk. She has done wonderful the past two days but we have to move forward because we still do not have any room to go in reverse. Please continue to pray!!
