Success!

Success!! Dr. Arnold was able to find the thoracic duct and embolize it ( close it off with glue!) He found that there was an obstruction at the top of the thoracic duct that was causing all the lymphatic fluid leakage. We're not completely out of the woods yet, but this is AMAZING news! Heavenly Father has definitely answered all of our prayers! We'll watch her chest tube output and it should decrease by half within the next few days and hopefully her intubation and chest tubes can come out soon-within a couple weeks! He did this same procedure in march and the chest tubes were out within two weeks, so this is the best outcome we could have expected! This is only the second time he has ever done this procedure, and he has only ever seen the condition three times (and he is an expert). We are soo thankful for modern technology, Dr. Arnold and Heavenly Father for saving our daughter!
