No biopsy results yet. Abby is still in the hospital and had a rough day today. She had an emergency CAT scan last night because her heart rate was low. Doctors were looking for air pockets or blood on the brain. The CAT scan came back normal. She continues to have headaches when sitting up and walking. She is also experiencing an electrolyte imbalance / low sodium which is a complication of the diabetes insipidus and can cause heartbeat irregularity and fatigue.  At approx. 9:30 pm this evening she was transfered to the Intensive Care Unit because her sodium levels are dropping quickly and she needs to be monitored closely. Doctors have put in a central line near the groin this evening. This will allow the nurses to get blood from her every 2 hours tonight and monitor sodium levels. An emotionally draining day for Abby, Cori and Craig. Abby desperately wants to go home. She has gone through so much in the past few days.
