Little kinks...

Bobby had a great day! Can you believe that he was actually up and about in the playroom. You can tell he is not 100% yet, but boy has he come a long way. Tonight he is STILL draining fluid, which is the main thing that keeps us here. Also, the site of the chest tube has developed an infection. It is very red, sore, and puss is coming out of it. So, they started him on an antibiotic. They still have to "strip" it every several hours to keep it draining and I can only imagine how painful this is for Bobby. Also, the stickers from the leads that keep his heart monitored have torn up his skin. His chest looks so sore! He is developing more of an appetite, but it seems to hurt him when he swallows. I am not sure if this is from the surgery or if his reflux is coming back. So, these are the continued little obstacles that we face We appreciate your willingness to keep us uplifted in prayer.
