What next!

You establish peace for us Lord; all that we have accomplished you have done for us.....
Isaiah 26:12

Well baby is doing good and recovering well from her trach surgery. However we found out some disturbing news that Victoria now has Ascites. Which is abnormal accumulation of fluid in the abdomen. Victoria has a central line that they put in her hepatic vein which is in the liver. Well they found that something went wrong with the line because the babies stomach looks like a large football. We were asking them about this for 3 days now. They told us that it was gas and I told them I have never seen her stomach look like this from gas. Finally, today thanks to Dr. Bolivar taking quick action, they found the problem. I really don't understand this and they have not explained it really well to me yet. What is the cause? Hopefully we will find out more tomorrow. Dad almost got into a screaming match with the doc that put the line in. The doc wanted to rewire it for the 3rd time. We wanted it out because it is causing too much trouble for her and it keeps coming out of position. Now she has this fluid supposedly from the line failing. She got a pic line put in today and they are taking the line in the liver out tomorrow. I guess they could not just pull it out because she could bleed very badly. I am so over these set backs. Victoria is such a trooper smiling today even though she can't barely move because of the swollen belly. Please continue to pray for us. Peace would be a great thing right now.
