Below is the latest update on Louis. As you can see from this email Louis needs all our prayers.
Greetings;
Louis had to undergo another surgery today. Apparently the tubes leading from his kidneys to his Catheter got tangled up with his intestines, making the tubes too short to reach the Catheter. And thereby creating a renal leakage into his system. This was not good. So the Doctors had to go back in and straighten out the intestines to allow the tubes to reach their objective.
I have to say that I was concerned there for awhile. I've heard horror stories about Renal Shock and didn't want to go there.
His sister(Pat) was returning to Cincinnati anyway to see him this afternoon. She just left a few hours early due to the crisis. Anyway, it all appeared resolved by early afternoon
Right now, Louis is still heavily sedated in ICU until tomorrow at some time.
Hopefully tonight and tomorrow are much less eventful.
Again, please keep Louis in your thoughts and Prayers
His Cousin
Jim
