We are still in the CICU tonight...There were no beds in the CCU. However, it was a blessing in disguise. This afternoon Bobby seemed really uncomfortable. His blood pressure and heart rate were elevated. They gave him more meds but he threw up and that seemed to help. We tried more drinks but he threw them up too. Tonight we have a nurse who has 20 years experience and she explained that this is so typical of post-Fontan kids. Bobby's cardiologist called later to check on him and said the exact same thing. Even though it is typical, it is still difficult! Apparently the lower part of the body has difficulty adjusting to the new blood flow and becomes very unsettled. So, right now we are praying for a restful night and a better day tomorrow. He is back on IV fluids and has been given Zofran to help his tummy. Thanks for keeping up on Bobby!!
