[QUOTE="PonyGirl, post: 370933, member: 187"] BabyJ remains hospitalized. 2-day stay has stretched into a week+ . Docs put in a new line for BabyJ, called a picc line, in his arm last Friday. Saturday his arm was swollen! X-ray to ensure line was placed correctly, confirms it was but shows his heart is now enlarged! Ultrasound done, which confirms fluid in the sac around his little bitty heart. Docs say this is a normal complication with non-cancer bmt patients, and no one knows the cause. Fluid should leave the body on its own. Monday there was more fluid, instead of less. They want to drain the fluid but need to decide if they should leave a chest tube in to drain further build-up. Big risk of infection if they leave in a tube. Decide to simply drain the fluid, and the procedure was done last night. daughter in law reports all went well, and now medications will be added to help prevent any more fluid retention. No more talk of separation, BabyJ's complications have sort of overriden that whole drama. Not sure if they're going ahead with it or if they've reconsidered. Thanks all for your good thoughts & kind words! Peace [/QUOTE]
