6-18-09 - Back in the Hospital

Unfortunately we had to take Aidan back into the hospital. Aidan developed what is called a pleural effusion. It is a small sac of fluid that surrounds the lung causing him to have issues with breathing. We believe he got it from the PD fluid. As it turns out we were correct. There is a small hole in his diaphragm that allows some of the PD fluid to leak into his lung cavity. Regrettably this will now cause Aidan to have to stop PD and now undergo hemodialysis. Also Aidan scratched his forehead really bad as you will see by the pictures going forward.
