working on it
Well, Malachi is holding true to his character and continually boggling the minds of those charged with his physical earthly care. I am very thankful for the doctor who is overseeing Critical Care at the hospital right now. He is very aware of Malachi and all the issues (especially from a cardiac standpoint) that affect him. I need to get back into his room but the plan for today is a PICC line, an echocardiogram, more labs and a possible blood transfusion to get more oxygen directly in his blood stream. The main issues we are struggling with right now are his low oxygen saturation levels, the fact that his blood pressure reading is consistent on three of his limbs but completely different on his right leg (no physiological reason to explain this), and his extremely low urine output. The doctor is just confused as to how all of these relate to one another. Hopefully the labs will rule out some things and he will be able to move forward in a logical direction. Thanks again for all your support and prayers!
