Wednesday afternoon/evening

They had to put the breathing tube back in around 5:00 p.m. today.  She had gotten to a point where she was fighting and struggling to take deep breaths and was unable to muster much of a cough.  She seemed to be getting worse throughout the day and it just reached a point where the doctors decided she needed the breathing tibe again.  At one point, the surgeon (Dr. Bleiweis), the head of Pediatric Cardiology (Dr. Fricker) and the EP doctor (Dr. Bryant, Pacemaker doctor) were all in here checking everything out.  The medication that they started her off on for the arriythimias seemed to be causing a lot of issues so they have stopped giving her that particular med and when its completely out of her system, probably around Friday, they will start her on another med to help prevent the arriythmias.  Also, she dos have fluid building up once again and in addition to the breathing tube, they have also put in an art-line and a central line.  So, basically she looks about what she looked like after surgery.  Looks like a long road ahead.
