Sunday update
Nothing much going on here. Quiet on Sundays. As it should be!
Coley's chest x-ray from this morning still looks a little too wet. So he's getting tons of diuretics to try to pull that fluid away. He's also pretty much retaining all the food & drink he eats - he's had half a kilo weight gain since yesterday! But he's moved things through a little (with lots of effort. Poor guy.).
The plan is still to go home tomorrow. We're scheduled for a discharge echocardiogram between 8am-1pm (the only thing that trumps that is an emergency echo). So that's a good sign, but I wouldn't be surprised if we were told to stay until the end of the day so they can push the diuretics and get another chest x-ray.
Other than a very full belly, I'd say he's feeling like himself again! He's been driving all around the cardiac ward. We had a visit from his friend Sari yesterday and went outside to the Prouty Garden. What a haven! He also decided to decorate his pressure bandage... And here he is with a cookie bigger than his head!
