Updates from Facebook (add Kathrin Von Dehn as a friend to get them directly):
Nic's liver shows sign of venal occlusive disease, the small arteries of the liver have clotted, impairing his overall ability to excrete. He's going to go on dialysis until this is resolved. This is going to be just one of the bumps along the way. His blood work is good, the white cells are coming in, and that's great!
Nic picked up a bit by the time we made it to ICU. The docs felt he didn't need to go on the dialysis as he was responding to the diuretics. He's stable today, on oxygen but no pain. He's very sleepy and so thirsty, but he's going to be on a restricted fluid diet for at least 3-4 days, until he loses about 5 kg of fluid. His symptoms do line up with venal occlusive disease. The doctors think that it's clearing up, the liver numbers have dropped. It's just wait and see.
Love to you all, thanks for your support and prayers. Kathrin
