Thursday morning

Joshua is still doing ok. We had a little excitement last night when the oxygenator on the ECMO pump started leaking and needed to be changed. Joshua handled it really well even though he lost a lot of the sedation and needed to be comforted....and drugged!
They rounded this morning but there is still a lot of speculation and no hard evidence one way or the other explaining what could be going on. He is getting an echo right now and I will update as I hear more.
The main plan for today is to increase his Lasix and get some more fluid off of him. He is less swollen today and closed out the 24 hour period with even fluids in and out.
