Here is what Leila's mother wrote in her CarePages update today:
"It's like a circus around here!
A lot has happened in a couple days. Although we were pretty optomistic about getting out a couple days ago - Leila once again showed her colors and let us know she wasn't ready. She started retaining fluid again Monday night and by Tuesday morning she was showing accumulation in her chest on an x-ray. It was determined that the area where her current chest tube was located had stopped draining and she needed a new chest tube. So this morning a new chest tube was placed - this time on her left side - and it draining with abundance.
We have not heard from the doctors on her Holter test yet, maybe no news is good news. Hopefully we will know more by the end of the day.
Tomorrow we see an ENT who will scope her throat to see if they can find some reason for her gagging and no eating.
So again we are in a holding pattern until these issues are all settled. She definintely needs her IV Lasix still, she definitely needs a chest tube for drainage, and she is definitely not eating yet due to something going on in her GI tract. So home is postponed until further notice.
We will post more later today.
Marci, Daren, and Leila with a new tube"
Please continue to keep this family in your prayers.............
