This doesn’t happen very often, I don’t have pictures to post today. I have spent the majority of the day at the hospital and most of my time here has been holding Brendan’s little hand and trying to help keep him be comfortable. He can power through most of the pain and sedation meds that they are able to give him without affecting his breathing and new circulation so he has been quite a bit more agitated today. The doctors are working to balance those meds again.
He made it through another day and stayed off the vent, but he is so close.. I was worried several times today but he is holding on.
His chest xray has been looking bad and they were talking about having to put in another chest tube for drainage. He had an ultrasound of his chest and it showed that there was only fluid on the bottom and back of his right lung and that it was not significant enough to go after with a tube at this point, they hoped that the diuretics will do their job instead and they will recheck him in the morning.
They stripped the dressing on his chest today and his incision is looking very good, that is a good thing! His early preliminary lung biopsy came back with a lot of negatives on tests for infection. (negative as in no infection not bad news!)
We keep being told that next week things will be looking a whole lot better. Of course right now, it seems like next week will never get here, the days are long and exhausting.

I miss Trevor very much, I got to spend a short time with him today and he is as cute as ever. I miss my brain, I am having trouble typing! Time to try to get some sleep in this awesome chair.
