In an effort to get us home sooner and because we feel we are loosing the diuretic battle, Joshua will go in for surgery today. He will go to IR (Interventional Radiology) and have a drain placed to get the fluid out of the area surrounding his lungs. He will go in about 2:30 pm and hopefully be out in about an hour or so. Please pray that all goes well and that the fluid is in place that they can safely tap into it and remove it. The hope is that we can remove the drain in a couple days and prepare to get home. I seem to be a little more antsy this time as Trevor's Birthday is Monday and I REALLY REALLY want to be there to celebrate with him this year. Of course, safety first, but if Joshua can safely go home then I will be THRILLED!
All in all Joshua is doing ok. He had increased work of breathing yesterday and required more oxygen overnight. He seems to be ok when he is up playing though.
