Uncertainty abounds

The cardiologist just stopped by to report that Bobby's heart did not go out of rhythm this morning - it was a false reading.

However, Bobby did have an oxygen desaturation into the 70s that caused him to turn blue.  They originally thought it was because of the arrhythmia, but now they don't know what caused it.  They have taken blood cultures to check for a virus and are going to do an echocardiogram later today.

On a good note, the chest tubes are coming out sometime this morning.  They are likely causing Bubs some pain as he moves around so it will be good to get rid of them.  They are also starting to wean him off of his many medications. 

As for Bubs himself?  He's happily playing with his zhu zhu pet and puppy Scout.  He's such a sweet boy.
