Gosh darn it, we are back at the hospital. Calli had alot of fluid build up around her right lung(900 cc that is about 1 liter in her little chest cavity) It is a side effect that can happen after having this type of heart procedure. She wasn't doing to well, when we came for her check up and they admitted her into intensive care right then. (Poor little thing) Today ,thursday she still has drainage but it has slowed down. It has a milky color to it, which can only clear up if she is put on a low-fat diet ( she loves Mcdonalds happy meals so this will be challenging)
She is starting to feel better, look better,breath better. Heart Surgery is a rocky road to go down and you have a few set backs. It is okay, we will keep moving forward and jumping the hurdles.

Well we hope koda will be back lapping up rootbeer soon! So I talked to Brian Smith he's Rosies dad and ER Dr. he said that the white is normal in some people and he has never heard a low-fat diet to help it go clear so I hope it is like what Brian says so she can have her chicken nuggets and fries!!! We wish you all the best and I want to see your new sweats Robin!

Dearest Calli! You hang tough and be stubborn about your healing! I'm glad things are looking up. Don't eat too much from the McD's Puke and Shoot. Ugh! You keep getting better. We love and miss you! See you soon, Gina
