Sorry, my phone sent this before I was done! This may double post, too, as I am having trouble getting a strong signal. Anyhow, Todd is still 5 pounds too heavy, and the echo showed a lot of fluid accumulated around his heart, which keeps his pulse rate too high and makes him feel tired. He could continue to take the strong diuretics that he has been on for a few days, but Dr. DCM felt he should have a procedure instead that will drain the excess fluid before sending him home. He is having that done this afternoon. I will visit him after I have dinner with the kids. Hopefully this will do the trick and he will be out tomorrow afternoon!

It's been nice having the kids rejoin us. They had a great couple of days seeing their Nana before she left this afternoon. The three of us slept about ten hours last night. It is so cozy and comfortable at Todd's aunt and uncle's, and they keep us very well fed and entertained.

Thanks again to everyone for your comments, good wishes, and incredible support.
