This will be a short update. I (Julie) am back at RMH just long enough to freshen up & eat lunch before heading back to the hospital. It's the weekend so no shuttles are running so I have to drive. It's also the first football (home) game so traffic is horrendous. (Go HEELS!)
There's still a lot of drainage & Ethan's not sitting much so we'll be in the PICU one more night. He had z chest x-ray & it looks good. He also had an echo & it too looked good so they pulled the middle chest tube out!
Before that, we managed to get him to stand up & then sit in a chair for 15min! He still has to take a walk today so pray for that. He cried nonstop while sitting in the chair - partly from chest tube pain but mostly just because he was scared. Hopefully with one chest tube gone & lots of prayer, the walk won't be quite as scary or painful for him.
