Sunday Night 7/10

Jadon's kidney output remains almost non-existent which keeps him on dialysis.  He was removed from dialysis yesterday for about eight hours to see if his kidneys would produce output but had to be reinstated.  He has been receiving steroids during the course of his recovery.  The steroid infusion was briefly removed by the doctors in an effort to allow his body to repair itself.  This caused his heart rate to fall to a point that required the nurse to bag him until his heart rate was restored to normal levels.  The steroid infusion was therefore subsequently restored by the oncology physician which appears to have stabilized his heart rate.  He is currently receiving dopamine to help stabilize his heart rate as well.

The ear, nose and throat doctor will examine him tomorrow to evaluate any future surgery options this week.  The tracheotomy will also be discussed at that time.

Jadon's status remains critical.  Your prayers are needed more than ever.
