Livi on Life Support

Last night Livi got a CT Scan, they found she has Pancreatitis. Through the night her blood pressure kept dropping (at times down to 57/23). They stabalized it, so it seemed. She had a fever even though her body was icy so they started antibiotics. This morning, after 24 hours without pee they put in a catheter. Her breathing was elevated and blood pressure was down again. She was taken to the PICU and within a 1/2 hour was put on life support. Pancreatitis can be easy or bad. Livi got the bad along with an infection in her blood. She did have some kidney failure but they are trying to stay away from dialysis. Keep praying for her, she needs it now more than ever.
