we are going in circles! Bobby had a horrible night. He was feverish and tossing and turning. When he woke up he was gagging and appeared miserable. The chest tube site was draining fluid that should have been coming out of the tube, so they decided it was time for the tube to come out and see if Bobby could hold his own. I was hoping for a miraculous recovery after the chest tube came out. Instead, I felt like we were back to the stages shortly after surgery. Bobby was lethargic, pale, and feverish the whole day. He even started vomiting again. The x-ray does not show much fluid, but the cardiologists wonder if it is deceiving since he was acting so poorly all day. He is not allowed any food or drink after midnight (won't be hard since he didn't eat or drink all day), and they will x-ray him again in the morning and make their decision. Unless a miracle happens (which we all know is possible), Bobby will have a smaller chest tube inserted to help drain the fluid. It is hard to take this dramatic step back, but it does seem like it is a long time coming. I hope and pray that this will help us move forward with Bobby's recovery. Bobby is in God's hands! Sorry for the delay in updates, but it was hard to access the computer today. Hopefully I can get to the computer more tomorrow!
