So they ended up putting a port in Trevor. But when they got blood they found his rbc had dropped and he had to get a transfusion. He had been indendent for over a month. The nurse told him his kidney's were failing and his potassium was off the charts. Just last week they were tapering him because they said he was stable, now they are giving him transfusions because his numbers are dropping. I wonder if they just started to taper too soon. He said he is feeling dizzy and chills, Im hoping he doesnt have an infection. I will wait to see if I can talk to a Dr . I am hoping they will talk to an AA specialist as none of these Dr. are AA specialist and seem to be guessing every step of the way. But maybe thats the way its done.
