Day 65

Even on Halloween Mr.Sugar needs to keep it interesting. So with the bacterial infection they wanted to clean out his chest, try to get rid of plastic within his body and close his chest. His surgeon decided to take him back to the OR and do all this. We counted 6 visits to the operating room. CRAZY RIGHT!!! While there she was able to clean him out with medicine but when she tried to close his chest he did not like it. His Bp and heart rate dropped. He is still so swollen that he could not tolerate it She was only able to close the top part of his chest. So unfortunately his chest is still open partially She was not happy about that because of the infection but she didn't want to push it. She also did some more cultures while he was there and they also came back positive. He has an infection everywhere. He is not acting septic and he has not had a fever since yesterday afternoon. On a little bit of pressure support because of them trying to close his chest but he has already been weaned off one of them this evening. We just wait to see how he does. It's all a waiting game. One day at a time right?
I hope you have all had a safe and happy Halloween. Enjoy these precious pics of the boys in my life!!
