I'll be praying that the diuretics is the way to go and that it gets rid of the extra fluid. It's good to have an answer about why he's needing the extra O2!

That would have completely sucked! Sigh... I've been thinking about you folks a lot today, especially because I remember you saying when you were gearing up for the hospital that you were getting prepared for the "worst case scenario" and planning on being away 3 weeks. Now 3 weeks have come and gone and you're still there. My heart weeps for you guys. When you think you can't go on, when you think you're too exhausted to keep going, keep your eyes on the finish line. Know that Jesus is running right beside, helping you keep pace. Look to those who have gone before you (other heart parents) who have run that race and gone through times of testing and discouragement, but they made it and you will too! The finish line is in site... keep running! And if you have to stop and rest and shed a tear, do it! Because nobody can really comprehend how hard your race is... except Jesus!Amy, Steve, Molly, Paige and Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12974948978904049944noreply@blogger.com
