Chest tubes needed...

Yesterday morning after another x-ray, it was clear that the diuretics were not enough for remove the fluid build up.  Evynn had another chest to put in under her left arm.  The procedure went smoothly and the tube emidiately drained over 150mls of fluid. Within an hour Evynn's saturation levels were up in the 80s, her breathing was greatly improved and they were able to ween her oxygen down to 3L. By the evening she was feeling well enough to ask for toys and to go home.
