We're getting ready to take Kelli up to our local ER as recommended by her surgeon's office. She has not urinated in over 24 hours and is complaining of tummy pain which may be an indication of urinary retention. She will need to have IV fluids for awhile since she hasn't been eating or drinking very much. We also need to have her blood levels checked since I have been unable to locate the iron she needs (see previous post). Because she has been having trouble coughing as well, they want to get a chest X-ray to check her lungs.
We still have a 7:30 am appointment in Baltimore to possibly have a new cast put on since this one is a little on the snug side and is very smelly. However, if she is admitted to the hospital here, we will have to change that appointment.
Please keep her, and us, in your prayers.
THANK YOU!!!
