We thought she was going to snap out of it a few times yesterday but unfortunately she did not. She held down water from around 11pm until about 4 this morning and slept really well but then slipped back down hill. After finding a few articles dating back to the early 1900's we had reason to suspect her Uric Acid levels to be elevated. We began testing on Thursday (pre-episode) and sure enough, they were. We tested again yesterday during the episode and they were elevated even higher. We plan to test again after she recuperates. Uric acid levels are essentially dependent on how our body breaks down proteins, so hopeful this will be a valuable piece to her very confusing puzzle.
