Maybe Tomorrow

Russell had another chest x-ray today.  He still has some fluid but it is getting better. They also did an EKG and an echo.  EKG looked good, haven't heard about the Echo yet. The surgeon, Dr. Nuri came by while I was out and said the post-op echo (not today's) showed the pressure in his lungs was normal. He was also happily surprised by Russell's eating. There is talk that we might go home tomorrow.  I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Russell may go home with oxygen but ideally not.

Although I wanted to thank Dr. Nuri for taking care of my baby, it was worth the trip out.  I got to meet with a good friend, Chris, who I haven't seen in forever. It was so nice to see him again. His wife and I are also good friends and got to see her a few weeks ago.

I'm pretty relaxed right now.  I pass the time by cross stitching and reading a book on Down Syndrome.
