Day Three: Yucky Lungs, Low Sodium

McKay's lungs are still a little soggy and his blood work tells us that he is low on sodium. We can do something for the latter, but must simply wait and see with the former. In fact, doctor's orders today are to take a wagon ride to get the pockets of fluid in his chest and lungs moving around, giving them a better chance to drain, and to have him eat as much salty food as he'll tolerate.

For now that means laying in bed after a sponge bath eating potato chips until he falls asleep, then having a wagon adventure royale through the halls of the hospital later this afternoon. Out of context it doesn't sound like a bad Sunday afternoon, does it?

They'll do more blood work tonight and we'll cross our fingers for more encouraging chest xrays tomorrow morning,

For now, he looks pretty peaceful.
