Monday 05/18

The neurology team and the CCU doc just talked with Jennifer again. We are in a serious situation now. The meds are beginning to affect Taylor's renal functions....which means her kidneys and her liver could be affected. Her creatin level is high - so that indicates some liver issues. They have decided to maximize the anti-convulsion meds over the next 48 hrs and then they will be forced to take her out of the coma. If she keeps seizing, they will try a few other options before considering surgery on the brain, to go in and remove the infected area. Rehabilitation is inevitable at this point and each day she remains here the list of needs she will have continues to grow.
