Happy Christmas Eve Everyone,
A quick update ... Will is likely to start diuretics today. Yesterday he gained 70 grams, taking his weight to 3lbs. 7oz. Normally weight gain is a good thing, but in this case the doctors and nurses presume that the weight gain is actual fluid retention. Diuretics will not only help the swelling in his extremities but the help reduce lung fluid too.
Also, you might notice the tubes on Will's head. This is the IV that is used to administer the blood transfusions. We had hoped to take a Christmas photo with a hat knitted by our friend Wendy. Unforunately, the hat is not an option today. On the other hand, we were lucky to have a few photos taken a coupled days ago with another hat that was knitted by his Aunt Elizabeth. Thanks to both Elizabeth and Wendy!
More later ...
Hey guys! Nick and I just read the updates from the past few days...we are thinking about you all constantly and praying for Will and some rest for you both. We hope you have a very Merry Christmas. Let us know if you need anything.
