Labs...

Update: So glad for friends who can fill me in on such things... One mentioned if the lab was hemolyzed (sp?) basically clotted to some degree, and it was... more so on the first lab, less on the second.  That can cause an elevated potassium level, and so the worry level went way down.  They'll retest today and hopefully all will be normal.  They're going to get the drain out (hooray!).  We're on contact precautions though.. big bummer.  Hopefully the cultures say it's not any nasty super bug (resistant staph, MRSA, etc) and we'll get off. Not sure if regular staph would be a problem.

P.S. Who does construction on a  children's hospital at 6am?  Seriously... Wait at least til 7!

His labs aren't good... a handful of things are too low, one was so "critically high" they ran the test again, and now it's "high"...  And of course the good docs are are home.  Put in an email to our hematologist, hopefully i'll hear from her soon!
