We have been in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit for a day and a half now. We still await many test results. Quinn was started on dialysis last night (Monday) to reduce the ammonia level in his blood. This has been successful and he went on to this treatment well. Yesterday the doctors spoke of liver transplant as a seemingly likely possibility. Today they are cautiously optimistic that his condition may be improving and that this may not be necessary.

We brought in some of his favorite things today. "Little Blue Truck" - a great book by Alice Schertle is a favorite (Quinn loves to make the "vroom" noise). We're playing his favorite rest time music - "Canyon Trilogy" by R. Carlos Nakai (Native American flute) and George Winston's piano music.
