Joe had his barrium swallow yesterday...the good news...no leaks...the bad news..Dr Mehran said he knew why Joe wasn't breathing well..He had about 2 liters of fluid around his left lung. He said they would drain it with a needle & we could come home when Joe was feeling like it.. They went in to drain & color of fluid was wrong...they had to put in drainage tube..Joe went into a-fib again..white count was up...they came out & said he had to be put back into hospital. So...here we are....He came out of a-fib around 3:30 this morning..has been vomiting & running some fever...we were so disappointed. Doctor still won't let Joe eat anything. Said he could have a few ice chips. They even took the food from the feeding tube away until they completely rule out something called a "chyle" (kile) leak. They are leaning toward thinking it's infection of some kind. They won't know for sure until they get the latest results from the lab. Will keep you all posted....Please keep us in your prayers....Joe & Sandra
