So he is still in moderate care. They took out only one drainage tube today. He has an extremely high amount of drainage! They also tested his blood that was draining because it was looking thick and cloudy. Luckily, nothing came back but they will keep a close eye on it. He also has his days and nights mixed up. He was up charming the nurses all night and wanted to sleep all day today. So I held him the majority of the day until my arms were numb and he was in a deep sleep.
The last arterial line that he has in is leaking. However, they need to draw blood tomorrow for labs. Hopefully, they can draw and then they will take that one out. They put another IV in his foot for Ativan. But hopefully his last dose of that will be tonight. He's still on oxygen. The nurse practitioner believes that he will be on it until all of the chest tubes are out because the tubes make it difficult for him to take large breaths.
I met with the speech pathologist today regarding his feedings. She was very nice but still wasn't our Wendy. :) She wants to have another swallow study completed-sometime next week-to see where he is at. Then we will slowly start oral feedings. I'm really hoping that he will like the bottle again! We will just wait and see what he decides.
Oh and he's finally pooping again! I told them that Miralax will work very well for him. They found out on their own when he left many big special presents!
Other than that, he is still slowly progressing. I keep telling myself to just take one day at a time.
