When the IV team came back at 4, they were able to place the IV in one try and less than 5 minutes. I was so grateful. She received her dose of lasiks, they took some blood and we slept again until her Xray at 5:30am.
More bad news came 4 hours later when the doctors reviewed her Xray and it was still cloudy with fluids. Her chest tubes will not be coming out today. They instructed us to walk more, sit up more, and move around more with hopes that they will come out tomorrow. It was frustrating because it is EXTREMELY difficult to walk around or take wagon rides with those darn chest tubes in. They hook into these bulky boxes and there are three of them that we have to drag around along with oxygen and a portable heart monitor thing. Its a lot of stuff! She is feeling tortured that we won't let her lay flat, but we keep telling her that the crappier day she has today by sitting up, the better day she'll have tomorrow because those freakin' annoying tubes will come out! Keep praying for her please!
I also just wanted to post a few pics from Tuesday (the day before surgery). We had a fun day at a splash pad super close to Scott's parents house, and I got some fun pictures of the kids splashing around (they are from my phone, so I don't know how great they are). I feel bummed about our setbacks and hopefully these will make me feel better.
And I threw in this one of Scott bouncing Corbin on the trampoline super high just cause its cool!
Here's to hoping today will improve and tomorrow will be even better!
