Day 4 evening update

Not much new has happened since the last update. We did manage to get Ethan out of bed & into a Radio Flyer red wagon to take a tour of the whole 2nd floor - not just the ICU but also the hallways & we even found our way to a different cafe (it used to be a Wendy's when we were here 4 years ago). We made 2 laps before Ethan said he was tired & ready to get back in bed.

After the wagon ride, Mimi & Pop-Pop came and stayed with Ethan so Dan & I could have a date night.

We're still in the PICU for another night at least, but ONLY because there's no room on "the floor" for us right now. So, that's encouraging that we've met all our goals down here!

Tomorrow morning we'll have another chest X-ray & hopefully all the time out of bed today + increased doses of Lasix today will show enough removal of fluid around the lungs so we can get the 2 chest tubes removed - that's our biggest desire/prayer request right now.

See picture below of Ethan in the wagon!
