Within the last 24hrs we have been pretty busy. They have done many test on Lilly and unfortunately have found some more problems. I think I mentioned that her kidneys are not doing well. Her right kidney is completely disfunctional. It has turned into multiple large cysts. Her left kidney has multiple small cysts on the exterior but the internal structure seems to be normal. They did a test on her left kidney and they just told us that it is working properly.
We also found out that in her heart the mitro valve is extremely narrow and they are going to have to do a more intensive surgery. They still are going to have to fix the aorta valve(artery) that is above the heart but now they are also going to have to do a hybred surgery that is an open heart surgery. They will be doing this surgery next week.
This surgery will consist of stopping the heart, doing the surgery, then restarting her heart. The problem we face is when they restart her heart, there will be a rush of blood to her left kidney as well as the rest of her body and if her kidney cant filter this then there will be more damage to that kidney than there already is. Keep us in your prayers and I will keep you updated with any more news we get.
For right now her left kidney is fine.
