Schmoopy Health Update

May 17, 2017 - 10:45am:  Call from Hope Center Emergency


Hope Center:

Clinically:
-  Eating well
-  Drinking well
-  No bowel movement yet


Diagnostic:
- Ran lab work 05.17.17 to check ionized calcium: Still hypercalcemic at 1.64 
  (Above high normal but lower than 05.16.17 when it was 1.88)

Objective:
- Get calcium into normal range (he'll feel better, he'll start to eat again, and reduce risks of kidney damage)
- Treat UTI

Actions for 05.17.17:
-  IV fluids - to help reduce Calcium (continue)
-  Zoledronate - To reduce Calcium (This was a one time dose)

- IV antibiotic (Enrofloxacin) - For UTI (They plan to transition this to Macrofloxacin in pill form probably by this evening.  Transitioning to one that has less GI upset potential)

Plan for 05.17.17:
-  Keep Schmoopy throughout day with IV fluids
-  Recheck bloodwork and calcium this evening
-  Re-assess this evening
