Things are still the same. They are keeping Lauren in the PICU until they can get her levels in good range-which they are having a hard time dping. The main thing being her potassium. They have her on normal IV maintenance fluids, plus concentrated IV potassium, and an oral potassium. Her numbers still stay low, she is just peeing everything out. Tomorrow they are going to put a pic line in because they have to keep giving her new IVs because all the fluids and potassium are hard on her veins. They are going to try to wean the ACTH a little faster (every 5 days) and see if her body can handle it. She is awake most of the day but still not doing much but laying there (and eating tons of course).
