Kadyn's Hospital Recap with updates

Kadyn was admitted for a bowel clean out on the 24th. She started acting strange on the 26th. Yesterday she was sleepy and unresponsive most of the day. They ran some tests. Her glucose was extremely low. They fixed that but she still wasn't responding. They couldn't figure out why so they moved her to ICU Kadyn is in ICU now and stable. They ran lots of blood tests and have her hooked up to IV fluids- potassium and glucose. Her EKG came back normal. She opens her eyes occasionally but not for long. Basically she's wiped out and sleepy but comfortable. They found the source of the problem last night. Kadyn's liver enzymes are elevated. Normal for her (and where they were when we got here Thursday) is 30-50... hers are over 2000. They drew a bunch more blood and did an ultrasound of her liver. Will know more when those results are back. She slept all night. Took blood at 3:30 and she went back to sleep. Potassium is still too low. Liver enzymes showed they are very slowly coming down. So that is good. Still do
n't know a cause and may not until her virus panel comes back (maybe midweek). Until then, we will be here and trusting that God loves her and knows her plan. In the times that she "checks out" we envision Him holding her and shielding her from the battle going on in her little body. As always your prayers, support and love have been overwhelming. It give us so much comfort and we cannot thank you enough. Kadyn update January 29: She's back in a regular room and the NG tube is out so she's very happy about that and back to her talkative self. Her liver enzymes are still very elevated but slowly coming down so that is good. Still waiting on the virus panels to come back and continuing to do blood work. As she told her brother, " they did a hundred sticks on me!"...not quite that many but it probably seemed like it to her!! Still looking for possible toxins in her system that could have affected her liver. Potassium and glucose levels are back to normal. Swelling is down. Her tummy is sore but that could be from the steak and shake she requested for her first meal :). As you can see Kadyn's spirit has been unaffected...Thank you God!!! Thank you Kadyn's Krew and everyone who continues to lift her up in prayer. We love you all so much!
