Special visitors




Wednesday, Evynn had a special visit from four of the Maple Leafs.  It was extra special because  two years ago, after her Glenn surgery, two of the same players held her for a photo.

Evynn has been improving slowly.  She was able to get away from needing oxygen regularly and I.V. meds.  Today she had a chest x-ray that showed the fluid around her lungs is mostly gone and what is there is draining.  She did although test positive for chyle thorax (a complication of the surgery, which allows fat from her diet to leak into her fluid and can cause her to drain continuously).  So far her drainage is fairly low, so they have decided to wait and see if she will require a minimal fat diet.  Hoping it won't be long before the rest of her chest tube can come out.
