Acidosis

We just spoke with Alyse's doctor and surgeon.  She has something called acidosis.  Basically, her body is in shock, her PH is way off, & her kidneys are not functioning.  They are trying everything they can think of, but her kidneys have to start producing urine to get rid of the waste.  As I said before, her profusion is not good at this time.  She will have an ultrasound later today to make sure she has been able to continue to supply blood to her brain adequately and does not have a brain bleed.

If things do not turn around, her heart rate & blood pressure will start dropping, which will lead to heart issues that she will not be able to recover from.  If things do start to turn around, the first good sign will be a wet diaper.
