Praying for the best ~ God bless themWe haven't had official 'rounds' yet but the two cardiologists came in because Finn's X-ray was even worse today. They wanted to take a look at his chest tube because he only had 5 mls that drained yesterday. Sure enough, the tube was twisted so they fixed it and flushed it and a pretty decent amount of fluid came off. They also did labs this morning and everything looks alright.
Plan for today is he NEEDS to eat more and drain more fluid and we really need to keep an eye on this tube to make sure it doesn't twist. So, for now, Finn is having a 'diaper day' so that we can see the tube better and monitor it. The entire time that Dr L'Ecuyer and Dr Michael were fixing the tube, Finn had his hand on it Dr L'Ecuyer tried to get Finn to hold his hand instead but Finn preferred the chest tube. What is it with babies and children in general only being interested in boring items like tubes and wires!? I have every toy imaginable in his wagon.
No more X-rays unless Finn shows that he needs one or if we have a chest tube concern. Have a great day!!!!
