Holding Steady

Chest tube has only drained 30mL since 3pm. We are shocked and worried and hopeful all at the same time. The x-ray at 6pm showed some fluid build up on the left side, but nothing like we were expecting. Ethan had dumped over 600mL up until 3pm. Since the x-ray his vital signs are steady. So we go into the night praying his body is really slowing down production and he can tolerate these changes and hoping the fluid doesn't continue to build up and cause problems. I will post in the morning and let you know how the night went. I hope it doesn't involve new chest tubes!

Thank you! I know updating your blog is the last thing you want to worry about right now, but we can think of nothing but you guys and Ethan. You are in our every thought and prayer. We love you!
