Morgan any news?

Posted by Lori on November 10, 2009, 4:24 pm

Do they think it is the clot that is blocking the renal artery? If she does need dialysis they can put the catheter in and dialysis her immediately after.

She went in for surgery on the clot at 3pm. I'm waiting to hear she's out of surgery. They won't be able to do the dialysis thing right away they say because they are giving her clot busting drugs that would cause her to bleed. They said they'd wait a day or so and do it then. Right now I'm hoping that this will work and she'll have her kidney and be on the road to recovery. I told her when she gets home we'll go out for a big steak dinner with all the fixings.

Not good

My mom is resting right now. They went in and shot her full of blood thinners (clot busters) but the clot was too big. They were going to do another round but she started bleeding elsewhere so they had to stop and give her clotting meds instead. Now they can't operate because she'd bleed too much. We'll know more tomorrow. They said there are other options and a slim chance that her kidney will start to produce red/white? cells on it's own.

Please keep sending your thoughts and prayers. We need every bit we can. I'll wait for news tomorrow but I'll be booking a flight back down to Van. MY aunt is probably going to fly out too in case they need to type us for transplant. I was really hoping this would work. Now I'm just wishing like mad for that slim chance the kidney starts working again. We need to catch a break soon.

Oh Morgan! We're praying as hard as we can for a full and complete recovery and SOON....thank goodness for at least a course of action to begin working toward rather than the craziness that she's previously been going through.

I feel so bad for her. At least there are miraculous developments in medicine these day.
It sounds as if these doctors are doing everything they possibly can for her.

I have been saying prayers all day long for her.

Let's hope that there is that miracle and her kidney does start working on its own.

Morgan, so sorry your family has been having to go through this. It must be so frustrating for you to be so far from her and your home, depending where you are.

Hoping for the best for your Mom! Kidney trouble can be really frustrating to diagnose and treat as I know from my own family.

Hang in there!
