Today was a good day. Tom was able to spend some time with AJ. He was super excited to see his daddy. He just kept looking at him in awe. It was so funny. Overall, today was better than I expected. The x-ray this morning showed good results. There is no air in his lungs anymore and no major drainage to be concerned about. They saw a very small amount of fluid on the side but it is nothing that they are worried about right now. So as of right now, no more chest drainage tubes!

He is still vomiting after feeds and has runny stools. They decided to start him on a probiotic. So, hopefully, that will help him within the next few days. Labs will be taken tomorrow to see where his levels are at. They will also try to ween him off of the Valium soon.

They plan to complete a sedated echo and EKG on Monday morning at 8am. Depending upon those results, we will either be near a discharge date or will still be here for awhile. I am hopeful that all will be well and we can go home sooner rather than later. :)
