to get Bobby to drink, drink, drink! I really want to avoid those IV fluids, because they just seem to make him puffy. We managed to avoid them last night, but today is a little trickier since he is getting IV diuretics. The blood transfusion went well last night. He received 2 units of blood to increase his red blood cell count. It was on the normal end, but they like it to be higher in single ventricle kids. Everyone was happy with his chest x-ray. Apparently it looked a whole lot clearer! The drainage from the chest tube is slowing. They said that they may remove it tomorrow if it was low today. Right now we are hovering around the target level of 100cc (we are at 90), so I am not getting my hopes us. They would also like to start him back on oral diuretics tomorrow. I guess we will see...one day at a time. Bobby seems a lot better today. His coloring is much better and he isn't puffy. His heartrate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturations look good. I guess that is all to report for now! Keep those prayers up because they are really working. God is taking care of Bobby!!
