Sigh. Back to the drawing board. Corban filled up his new atrium today with 200 ml. of fluid from his left side. Removing the broviac line didn't seem to work. This is disappointing for sure. Also, we found out today that Corban's lower right leg is fractured. It looks like it happened at the same time that his femurs and left arm broke. AND we discovered that he has a recently fractured rib (from one of his chest tubes being put in). Does it ever end?
Overall, he is doing fairly well, considering all the pain he should be in. For the last 2 1/2 weeks, he's been alert, active, and looking around. So that is good news. He's up to full feeds now (using a feeding tube and low-fat formula). That was a requirement for them to take the broviac line out.
