Riggyns was taken by ambulance on 10-24-21 to Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis. He has a rare kidney syndrome called Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) cause is still unknown at this time (though this is most common a bad gut bacteria). Due to the sudden kidney failure he was sedated and put on a ventilator to receive continuous dialysis. His numbers are improving on 10-25-21 and trending in the right direction. They are trying to get him in to surgery to place a PD catheter today (10-26) that would allow him to come off the vent, and remove the dialysis port in his neck. The PD catheter is surgically placed in his abdominal wall and this allows him to get dialysis through there. While he won’t be on a vent, he will still need to be sedated as to not pull on all his cords etc, but should be more aware than now. The Doctors have explained it can be a painful process for his little body to start with until we get all the right pain and sedation medication dialed in for him. We will keep updating as things actually happen, we don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves... this is one day at a time and it can take a week, a few weeks or possibly months for kidney function to be back to normal (or the new normal) We appreciate all the support and prayers! Donations will all go towards medical bills for our little fighter! ❤️
