Minor Setback

Last night we had an awful night. I think we only got two hours of sleep. Poor little Brodie was so uncomfortable, we wasn't eating well and he was breathing really hard. The nurses and doctors were also concerned with his extremely high heart rate, it was staying between 160 and 175 BPM. After some tests and examinations we found out that Brodie had a lot of extra fluid surrounding his lungs. The best way to fix this was by inserting a tube and removing the extra fluid because it was not only making him uncomfortable, but his right lung was partially collapsed. The procedure only took about twenty minutes and he was brought right back to our room. Immediately we could see improvements. His heart rate is now staying between 110 and 120 BPM. He also slept very peaceful for a few hours, and when he woke up he drank a whole sippy cup of water and ate half of a banana. Hopefully we just have smooth sailing from here

This is the tube that will stay in for a few day
