Good Monday Morning!

We received this update from Katie this morning:

"Good Monday Morning! And I do mean good because we have been getting positive (as in, no more bad news) updates on Luka!

The doctors are still confused about his oxygen levels--his body indicates they are fine, but the machine says they are very low. He is still on oxygen and they've done an ECG and EKG on his heart and a chest x-ray to make sure his heart and lungs are OK. But, they've been able to increase again the amount of fluid used in manual dialysis--they're up to about 20 liters of fluid/day. He is also producing more urine--enough now to see in his catheter bag. We are so thankful for that, as he hasn't had a wet diaper since last Monday. He still has a feeding tube in, but he has eaten a few bites of watermelon and has had a few sips of Pediasure-type milkshake. He is only taking in about 700 calories each day and should be at about 1000, but the doctor said for now, they'll take what they can get! His brain waves are still good (he can still point to a ball in his book when they tell him to, for example), so they're encouraged by that too. It seems, on the whole, that the rest of his systems haven't really been effected by HUS."

We praise the Lord for encouraging news!!
