Update 8 East Day 1

Marsh’s xray came back with some fluid in the lower lungs (I knew this last night by the way he was breathing at bedtime)

He is getting extra diuretic and floor doc is hopeful fluid will resolve with that bump.

And I have been patting his back every chance I get. The last thing he needs is pneumonia

They yanked the last of the external chest wires just now and marsh was not at all happy but has settled nicely in my arms.

Another xray in the a.m, a round of labs, and then if night is event free & lungs clear up, we will get out.

Pray. Harder. Please. I have an important appointment Tuesday that I really should not cancel and, more importantly, after the events of the past few weeks, this boy is entirely entitled to good food, better sleep, his brothers, his family, his friends, his pets, his costumes, and all the comforts of home ❤

8 East Day 1

So they rounded already. Marsh is not going home today.

They do not feel it is in his best interest to leave today. And I do not believe it is in his best interest to stay. But it is what it is.

They are still fiddling with meds and want to get a chest xray, labs, and the last 2 lines out. His intake nurse last night finally noticed the iv in his hand was bad (after days of me pestering cicu nurses about it.) So the last iv is out.

Send big prayers Marsh gets out tomorrow please. Marsh especially wants to bust out of this joint. There isn’t anything going on here we can not manage at home.

So many thanks, so much love, and big hugs❤
