Hunger Strike


Everett's on a hunger strike. He hasn't eaten much of anything in two days. He shakes his head and bats down any solid food coming in his direction. The doctors don't seem too concerned about it, but the little guy has to be hungry. They also told us he's had some PVC's (Premature Ventricular Complex). Basically it's like a heart arrhythmia - his heart is contracting before it beats. The good news is the doctors said he hasn't had any more today. I don't know a lot about it, but here is a link with some information. The best news of the day so far is that he might get his chest tubes out tomorrow. We should only be here a few more days after the tubes are out. This is far from being set in stone, but he hasn't been draining very much lately and that is a good thing.
