Owen was started on Epinephrine at about 11pm. No change. We started CPAP at midnight. No change. His kidneys are failing and he is still struggling. Please keep him in prayer.
We are starting Vanco, an iv antibiotic, to see if it will help. Its just another shot in the dark. He has spiraled so fast and no one has an explanation. I spoke with Stanford and we are all puzzled.
We plan to intubate soon, within the next hour or so. We are just trying to give his heart enough IV support. The biggest risk of intubation is that he will crash so we will have a surgeon and ecmo on standby.
After intubation he will go to the cath lab for biopsy and we will hopefully get some answers on how to treat. We need his kidneys to start working.
This is a nightmare. I am trying to stay positive but am lost in the reality of the situation. He can overcome this. Please pray.

Praying for you Owen. All that you have overcome little guy - you can get through this buddy!
Praying for you. How terrifying. I am so sad for you. Poor Owen must be so frightened as well. Praying that the biopsy shows something that can be fixed quickly.
Praying for all of you. Keep fighting, Owen!
