 Fast forward to today, and we are still in the hospital. She's having a VERY ROUGH time getting better. I am still waiting to find more information and waiting for her kidneys to function normally. We're hopeful as she didn't get to full shutdown of her kidneys, but this recovery is going much slower than originally thought.

Don't know what tomorrow will bring, but hopefully, it will be better news. 
 @eb31101f saying a prayer for her, please keep us posted. 
 @eb31101f Lord have mercy on you both 
 @eb31101f Very sorry to hear this, praying for you both.

If you don't have any on hand, it might be wise to have some ORS (Oral Re-hydration Solution) around for situations like this. I know at least for kids (small bodies, less time to react) it's really important to restore fluid and hydration. The reason kids get really sick from illness, besides fever, is dehydration from diarrhea.

My family's thoughts are with you guys. 
 @eb31101f Oh, that's awful. I hope things take a better turn soon🙏 
 Day 4 at the hospital.

My wife is showing signs of progress to getting better, it's just frustratingly slow. 

She is able to talk some and express some needs but is still foggy on details and easily loses focus.

When we arrived, her kidney function was 6%. The next day was 13%. 3rd day, I don't know, but it was high enough to resart one of her medications to deal with her severe  back issues. 

I'm hoping today to get more good news from the doctor.

 @eb31101f Good Vibes to you and your family, Sir. 
 @eb31101f
Best wishes man. Hope it all ends well. 
 Big improvement over the night.

My wife's kidneys are back to near normal function. PT went well and it looks like tomorrow she'll be headed home. 🥳

Thanks for all the kind words and karma all. 
 @eb31101f -- Health Karma to your wife. 
 ... and we're home now.

( Wife saysthat she "Does NOT want any of that #Ozempic shit anymore." )
