UPDATE CAMERON WILLIAMS

Thursday, February 7, 2008

since thur. Cam has had some small improvements such as his heart is at a healthier rate, his blood pressure has been great, and his oxygen is slowly getting better although fluctuating along the way. the last few labs have shown that his biliruben and other liver markers have become stronger and are heading in the right direction. Cam's been building his own blood (RBC) the last few days as well as his (WBC) white blood count decreasing which is a great thing.the last couple of days his body has had a hard time releasing fluid normally and therefore he's become incredibly swollen. the doctors came to the conclusion that his kidneys are having a hard time and last night attempted to inject him with something to release the fluid. they tried this twice without any success. so the other alternative now is Cam will be immediately put on dialysis this morning. meaning another catheter will be placed so his kidneys can become stronger and function properly before they fail. we must pray that this dialysis will help him and that he'll only be on it temporarily until his body is working to his greatest capacity again.please, please continue to keep him in your hearts and prayers. he's come too far to not continue to be blessed with miracles.love,lindsey
