Ok everyone- so James is in a better mood today. His breathing is still very fast but Dr. Douglas came in today ands explained to us what she thinks is going on. When James had his lobectomy he lost a lot of is lung which left him with empty space. His liver, doing what nature does, filled the empty space and one of two things/possibly both happened. One--the liver is inflamed crowding his lung. Two--his liver is tender and he breathes fast so it doesn't hurt. After reviewing the CT from yesterday they know his liver is slightly larger than in April. In regards to the tenderness it's hard to check for that because James' liver is so high (in lower chest behind ribs) it's usually a very routine check. James says nothing hurts and for the most part was back to his normal self today. James is on a steroid to help with things after transplant. One of the things it helps with is liver problems. So we could see things go back to normal shortly. Until then doctor's are keeping a very close eye on the situation. James also woke with a lot of hair on his pillow cases. It's happening!! He's losing his hair. He started itching his neck and face and that's when we noticed all the hair. Sooooo straight up prison style, James got buzzed in the room. Child Life brought by a surgical buzzer and we shaved James' head. He looks really good and makes sure he shows everyone his haircut. Just like a warrior James continues to press on. It's rare for anything to bother him and his energy is always at a high..he continues to amaze his family,friends,doctors and nurses.... most of all his parents. Believe---Dan Sam & James
