Sooooo close....again

Well we were supposed to go home today, however, Bridger's body did not agree with that plan. He started declining again the last couple days, he was taking on more fluid and the amount of blood thinner in his body is too low. A few kinks that must be worked out in order for us to go home. They have put his back on IV diuretics and had to start a heparin IV until his coumadin is in his body enough that his artificial mitral valve won't clot off and have to be replaced. He has also been vomiting more over the past 36 hours, sometimes even vomiting his meds which doesn't help anything. I guess we will just sit tight over the weekend and re-evaluate on Monday how everything is going.

Haven't heard from ya in the last few days. I worry about you all. Hope he can keep things down and get some of that fluid off.
