As Melissa indicated Caden had a rough night. He was up ever half hour to an hour and is unfortunately receiving a lot of morphine to stay controlled.
This morning they saw some shading on the left side of his chest which isnt good. One of the PA's just came in to replace the chest tube and do some irrigation while he was in there. Changing a chest tube is a process that is very violent. I dont recommend watching it being done. The goal of the irrigation is to clean out the hematoma (collection of blood). His blood count is good so that could mean he is not still bleeding inside. Problem is he has that collection of blood inside of the chest that we need out. We are awaiting another chest x-ray to see if the PA was successful. If not, Dr. Tweddell and team may have to go back in there which means we will start from scratch on the healing and more risk..
Please pray for Caden and that the PA was successful able to clear out the blood clotting. Please God!
Oh my gosh...just reading these morning updates. He's going to be fine. Trust trust trust. That's all you can do... So many prayers for all of you!! He's going to be fine...
