Drowning

Jackson is trying not to drown. He has acute pulmonary edema (fluid on the lungs) making breathing laborious and he is isolated in an oxygen tank. The prognosis is neutral (50/50) but the doc is encouraged that he was able to get himself out of the pool and is not expecting to need a ventilator. We are praying that his body is strong and healthy enough to heal without complication which includes stress to other organs including the GI tract and kidneys. His heart looks good and clear but difficult to hear it beat with all the fluid. He is his normal tail-waggin' sweet self but a little sad that he can't come home with his momma. With any luck he will be home by Saturday. Say a little prayer for my baby - he's too young to go over the rainbow just yet.
