July 30 update

Update from mom:  Abed is doing great. A couple of days ago he stopped making urine for about 3 hrs. I had a conversation with his surgeon in the hall about what that could mean (failure). I came back in the room from that talk and he had 85 ccs in his bags. Not a whole lot, but 85x better than none. Sometimes his kidneys like to play mind games… We’re continuing to watch with cautious optimism, his urine output has kept improving and is doing excellent, and his labs are improving. Some numbers were getting high, but plateaued and are now coming down a little. Baby steps. We’ve had a struggle to get calories in him. He’s had no appetite but he’s been getting better and today he had a pretty large breakfast. He got out of ICU yesterday, don’t know when he’ll be discharged but not really concerned about it, kinda feel comforted by having oversight. I wish so bad he didn’t have to be so resilient, but he is, and he’s working to improve. I believe he’s got this. He’s such a great kid!!! ♥♥
