Todd really needs your prayers along with prayers for his doctors' knowledge. They are really struggling to help him.
Todd is strong and young and has a lot of friends praying for him so he will get better. I was told it could be 2 days to 2 weeks before he gets better.
I have two huge nursing text books here with me tonight and one of the doctors printed me off info from a website he use (uptodate.com). I met with three doctors/specialist today for a long time.
Todd's Neurosurgeon come into the room all rilled up yelling to me "I am going to fire who ever let his sodium get so low... I'm going to fire them right now" and he left and went to the nurses station. Heard from the nurses it was quite the show. Doctors and nurses were sitting down with me and explaining to me about his sodium.. no one told me it was so low that he was about to have seizures (for you medical people that need to know it was 121 then 126 at 8ish and 130 at 11:20p - it will be checked again at 3am and 7am).
I am doing all I can for Todd right now and really hope that everyone who has provided childcare and food understand how much I truly appreciate it right now. I can not express how wonderful it is to not have to worry about food being at the house for Brooklynn and family to eat and my 2am pre-bedtime snack too.
Brooklynn is sick tonight - cough and belly ache (please do not let it be the flu!!!) so I am off to join her in my bed for the night.
