Retracting again!

Last night at Tucker's 3am feed, he started flaring his nostrils and retracting when he fed. I waited until his next feed in the morning and there was no change so I called his cardiologist. He told me to give him an extra dose of Lasix, that he could have just had some extra fluid, and that he would be calling me back in the afternoon to check on his status. His VNA RN Bonnie was going to be coming out for his weekly visit. She noticed that he was retracting as well so she had to report it to the cardiologist. We called The cardiologist and he told me to drive right to Children's ER. We were in the emergency room from 3-10pm. X-rays an EKG and a failed attempt at an IV line. We finally got assigned a room on 8 east Tucker ate 70 ml and is still retracting, now we are going to bed. More to come in the morning.
