Day 2 Test results

Ok so the Dr. just came in to let us know about all the tests and here is what we found: The ct scan to the right leg was indecisive. It seems that it is getting less blood flow than the left but we can't figure out why. No clots and no compression to that leg, so they are sending the results to a vascular surgeon to get his opinion. This morning however his leg seemed a little warmer. His liver enzymes were way elevated so they took him for an ultrasaound of the abdomen and found that he has gallstones and what they call sludge in his gallbladder. Dr. says this is common in spinal cord injuries it should resolve itself but it will help to eat high fatty greasy foods which would work if this was Kyles old appetite but since he is not really hungry I have to try to force food down him! The gallbladder stuff is the reason for the liver enzyme elevations. Otherwise all the other organs looked great!
They hope to get him up this afternoon maybe he can stay up a little longer than yesterday.
