Well, we are still here at UCSF!

Aidan's electrolytes came back high and so yesterday he got to meet a nephrologist. The nephrologist (kidney specialist) determined that he may have gotten overloaded with sodium with the IV solution he received during and after his procedure on Wednesday. But figuring this out took the better part of the day, and they wanted to get a follow up lab today to make sure his sodium levels are getting more normal.

It gets kind of suspenseful as a possible discharge comes closer because with a kid like Aidan, there is always something that might keep him here. At home he doesn't always "tolerate" his G Tube feeds, which is a euphemistic way of saying that sometimes his formula comes back up again. But of course, nausea and vomiting are neurological signs too... you see how the departure date can sometimes recede like the end of the rainbow.

Hopefully the next time I update, it will be from home in Shaver Lake!
