Output Problems

Yesterday I noticed little output in Tim's nephrostomy bag. So today he went to the cancer center for an extra boost of fluids. Even with the extra bag and his TPN, it hasn't really changed much. He is going to continue have extra fluids for the next three days.


The doctor doesn't think that he getting septic again though because he is currently on antibiotics and they cover a wide variety of infection. The other option is something called third spacing. Neither is very good. He has a migraine and feels sick to his stomach. He is also short of breath.

Aww, poor Tim. We'll be praying he starts feeling better soon and putting out the proper amount of fluid. I know migraines aren't any fun. Feel better, Tim! Hang in there, Jane!
