Well we are still here and don't have any idea when we will be able to go home :( They said at least a few more days.. The fluid is still built up around Maccoy's Right lung even with the 2 diuretics he is getting. He still has the chest drains in and they are still draining. Yesterday both of our IV's got taken out because they were no good so after a few nurses looked one finally got brave and put a IV in his head which was fine but it "blew" this a.m. so another nurse came in and tried to put one in his foot failed attempt, they called the Flight Team Nurses in to do one and they tried the other foot failed attempt we are now waiting on Anesthesia to come and give it a try this is a "last" resort so I hope they get it we need this for the diuretics.
Two good things have happened 1. He is off the Oxygen and breathing room air and has a 93% O2 Saturation right now! 2. He doesn't have to be on all the monitors constantly which is less cords,lines,etc. to drag around when mommy wants to hold him!!

That is great news about less cords. I know it is important to hold your baby. I hope they get the iv in. Hang tough.
Hang in there! You guys are stronger than you once thought. And I have been constantly checking to see what the news is, thanks for keeping us up to date. Sending prayers and hugs to you guys for strength and patience, and a speedy recovory for Maccoy.
