Albumin level is low

So his Albumin level, protein level, is low. This level continues to drop and we are not sure where he is losing his protein. So far it doesn't seem to be that he is losing it in his urine or stool so the last thing to check is to see if his liver is making enough protein. I hope and pray that it is and that maybe we just have to re-run the urine and stool tests and find something there. We should get the results regarding the liver sometime this afternoon. A big concern with this level dropping is that he could third-space (send the fluid that should be going to his vessels out to his tissues, lungs, etc.). So we are keeping a close eye on him making sure he doesn't start to swell. I have been talking to Dr. Markert (the Dr. that did his tranplant-love that woman) to see what she thinks. We are communicating via email regarding his labs so maybe she will be able to provide some insight also.

God Bless you all!!

God Bless Caleb!!
