No Surgery Today

Just a quick post to let y'all know that Parrish is not having surgery today because of his kidney function. His creatinine level went up to 2.3 and the doctors are worried about the stress of surgery and anesthesia on his kidneys. His BUN is normal (and his electrolytes look good), so they still think that the kidney issues are just a result of the dye/contrast during the scans he had on Friday. The antibiotics he is on can also do a number on the kidneys.

They have scheduled a kidney ultrasound for today and a detailed urine study. The plan is to give Parrish more fluids and just let the kidneys rest. Surgery will be either tomorrow or Wednesday-but we won't know for sure until probably tomorrow morning.
