Her fluid from her chest tubes is significantly less than it has been. She’ll have another day of no feeds and then slowly start feeds to see if it’s healed. We keep praying that her lymph system will heal itself.
Thanks for all of your comments, thoughts and prayers! We are forever grateful!
It’s been a good day. Almost no drainage from her chest tubes.
They took out two more of her IVs and they have been able to lower her high flow oxygen.
It seems like ever since we decided to just focus on Gracie and not worry about all the numbers and results, the result have gotten better. Coincidence?
We’re still not out of the woods, and they are going to try feeding her again tomorrow which will tell us if the chylothorax has corrected itself or not. We think it has. We’ll see.
Tomorrow will be a big day with them hopefully taking her off of the high flow oxygen and putting her on a regular nasal cannula as well as starting feeding again. I’ll let you know how it goes.
