Day 3 Post-Op

Another great day for sweet Koal today!  We played in the playroom, rode a bike around the hall and even went outside for a bit. He's also had a big increase in appetite and used the restroom A LOT! The Miralax finally paid off! Haha!

Koal had a morning x-ray that showed a small amount of fluid around his lungs that is thankfully slowly decreasing. He also had a lung scan that showed blood flow is back to being equal to both the right and left lung. What a praise! Because of the fluid, Koalton has been on a large dose of diuretic, causing him to need to use the bathroom ALL THE TIME.  It will help decrease the fluid around his lungs, but sadly keeps us up at night with so many bathroom breaks. Koal's potassium was also a bit low after labs today, so he's been put on a supplement dose of that as well. By the afternoon labs, things looked better with that level, so tomorrow the plan is to take out the pacing wires and do another echo if all levels remain normal.

X-ray time!

Our little buddy seems to be feeling better and better every day. While still sore and sometimes apprehensive of getting on and off his bed, his transitions have become easier and less painful, and we know that will continue. THANK YOU for your continued prayers for his recovery.  God has wrapped his arms around us and we feel and see his work in Koal's recovery every day.
