Ethan is not ridding his excess fluid well. His lungs are wet
and the effusions have arrived. Unfortunately he is now
re-intubated and has a right chest tube to go with the left one
they placed in the OR. I knew it was coming, but it still hurts so
bad to see him go through this. A least that can dope him up
tonight! He will be in less pain :)

Bummer.... we'll keep praying. Poor Ethan, that vent tube is yuck.

I'm sorry about the setbacks. It's so hard to see our babies in pain. We are praying for Ethan and your family.
So sorry he has to suffer some setbacks. I Hope it is very short term. Still praying!!!
Man...I was hoping the tube would stay out. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Hopefully, he'll be doing a little better by then. You guys are in my thoughts :)
Man no fun for little man! Atleast on the vent he doesn't have to work as hard on one thing so everything else can do a little extra. Ugh chest tubes are the worst. At his height our B had 5 at once. No fun.
Love ya.

Ethan is strong...I know he'll pull through this set back and be home with your family soon! Hugs, Barbara
