Aaron Hill and family
Mid morning posting. His little body has so much to do.
Frann Smith Clark
We got a call around 6 a.m. that another echo showed that Aaron needed to have the fluid drawn off his chest. They sedated him and put in another chest tube to allow the fluid to drain off. His heart rate has slowed a bit and he seems to be breathing easier with the fluid gone. Aaron’s doctors think that some of the fluid is coming from his blood vessels, but some of it was also building up b/c of his feeds and other iv nutrients. Because of this, they are continuing his diuretics and watching him today to see if he keeps the fluid out of his chest. If so, they may start feeding him through his tube again. They aren’t making any other changes-just keeping him sedated and giving him a little rest. Please pray that Aaron’s body will be able to shed the fluid on its own and that his heart and lungs will continue to grow stronger and able to do the work that they need to do. We are impatient, as we want Aaron better FAST, but we are happy that he is moving in the right direction
