Monday - Update (1/4)

This weekend was quite uneventful--no major issues or improvements. Here are some updates:
  • Scott is still in the ICU (day 4)
  • He has received around 11 units of blood since his surgery. His HH (hematocrit & hemoglobin) levels are very low. It doesn't appear that his liver is working as well as it should. It was only until yesterday that they began to ween him off donor blood, and although his levels are still low they remain stable
  • His creatinine is right around 1.2 which means it's been on a steady decline over the weekend--a good sign. His kidney is getting stronger!
  • He is still very tired and weak, and he is not yet entirely lucid
We are still waiting to hear the results from his liver biopsy (maybe tomorrow we'll know more).

Hopefully Scott is discharged from the ICU, but we think there is still a lot to recover from.
