No more interruptions please

Nice! Looks like the draining has slowed to a tiny amount or possibly even none. So a couple of changes for today:

  • Increase the calories in his formula so he gets more nutrition and starts gaining weight again.
  • "Plug" the chest tube to see if anything re-accumulates. Maybe take the tube out tomorrow?
  • Switch from IV heparin to Lovanox (shots) so we can go home on that.
All in all we are making some good progress towards getting out of here. Henry is mostly back to his normal playful self.  His vocal chords got a little scratched or something so his voice is very quiet.  It's like when you lose your voice for a couple days.  Sometimes he tries to make a sound and nothing comes out... but he does make quiet little sounds when playing and can cry still.  Almost there.. go Henry!!

  2. SO glad Polly will get to reunite with you and Henry. Do we know yet what caused all this and what are the chances of this happening again? Maybe a little post on that if you get a chance. Thinking of you often.
