Saturday Afternoon 7/16

As of yesterday, Jadon is in septic shock.  Jadon’s blood pressure is currently maintaining but is requiring dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine to maintain nominal levels.  Doctors could hear a slight lung obstruction that was determined to be two bacterial infections in his lungs.  An antibiotic IV drip was resumed.  Jadon is responding to questions.  His leukemia treatment is on indefinite hold pending his condition being upgraded from a high critical status.  ICU doctors have informed the family there is nothing additional that can be provided to aid in his recovery.  At this point in time his prognosis is grim.
