Take two in ICU

Sunday afternoon, I brought Hubby back to the cancer hospital for an emergency visit. He had been very weak all weekend and vommiting every morning after the feeding tube came out. He also felt some congestion in his chest. He looked haggard and his skin looked a bit yellow to me. (the nurse has since corrected me and said his skin looked "dry' not yellow and it was from dehydration) His white blood count was high and they decided to admit him to find the infection. Then his heart went in aFib and they put him in ICU. Late last night they did a CAT scan and today we found out it showed fluid on one lung and fluid around the heart caused by the swelling from surgery. They want to drain the fluid around the heart before it starts  causing problems. This could have been a big problem if undetected. God is good.
