Not much to report

Hospitals are so slow on the weekends. Fortunately, Maddie's been free to roam about the hospital today and we just have to go back to our room on 4G for vitals and meds. Bryan, Cade and Nany stuck around until early this afternoon and have headed back to Royal, so it's just Maddie and me. I have some cute pics of our stay these past few days but don't have any way to post them since I'm using the family resource center's computers. She's hating her hospital room right now and cries as soon as we step out of the elevator, so we're getting our exercise to say the least. We even made it to the Heart to Heart Support group meeting here today. It was nice to visit with some other heart families.

The chest tube drainage has pretty much stopped...only 27cc in the drain box right now. She's been off suction all day and her IV line was pulled as well. The plan is to pull the chest tube out tomorrow then see how the day goes. Her chest x-ray will be the biggest indicator but it looks like home Tuesday morning if all stays the same. Her x-ray this morning came back with minimal fluid (less than 20 cc) so that's awesome...she's dry. Her lasix dose is now oral and amped up to 3x daily. She's so ready to come home :) Me too.
